I hope you realize that if Albrecht replies to this message, all you'll
see is an attachment again. The reason for this is that his e-mail program
works properly and yours does not. Don't feel alone, though. The TerraSoft
mailing list archives are just as broken. Fortunately, gmane.org archives
his posts the way TerraSoft should.

I say the above because you said the messages "are" attachments. It occurs
to me that it is possible you meant to say they "have" attachments, which
is a completely different situation, in which case the solution is to stop
deleting messages with attachments because it is unforgivably rude to
do so at a time when they are the wave of the future in e-mail programs.
In fact just as soon as I upgrade to Panther, all of my e-mails will
contain attachments (note that Panther does not require this). This list
will be unaffected as I only post to it via news.gmane.org, not e-mail.

I realize that I have not addressed the question of "Why?" but the answer
to that is a subject I feel is too technical and political for this list.
