[gui-talk] 2009 NFB Convention Agenda

[Steve Jacobson]

Joel,

I had the same experience with another mail program.  We have seen this before but don't know the exact combination 
of circumstances that cause the problem.  It is some combination of attachments and the mail program being used and 
perhaps even settings within that mail program.  As you know, there are many settings such as the type of encoding 
used and such that most of us do not deal with.  Unfortunately, if you forward the message, one of two things can 
happen.  The added layer of forwarding can make the problem go away, or another mailer and set of settings may treat 
the message just fine.  In other words, this is hard to isolate because the same message can be handled differently by 
different mailers.  Since I use a program called PMMail which few people use, I don't usually bother complaining about 
problems that affect that program specifically, but I know this particular problem happens occasionally with other 
programs, too and I thought the list should know that you are not the only one encountering this.
