Is this some sort of encoding that's gotten mangled through passing the 
message through several parties? I notice them only on mesages I've 
gotten through mailing lists. Have you gotten any direct email that has 
this mangling?

I just auto-save all attachments. When I do the GUI I plan to make it so 
you can delete attachments sepperate from the message. So that you can 
delete attachments without deleting the message but when you delete the 
message it'll ask you if you also want to delete the attachments. I 
suppose I'll also need some method of browsing unattached attachments. 
Hrm. Maybe I'll allow describing and keywording each individual 
attachment. That could be useful.

I hate 'click this link' crap in my email. If they want me to go to a 
website, such as to confirm registering to a website, then send me a 
url. I don't need damn HTML mail.

Hopefully someday. For now I'm just bitching about every little crazy 
ass thing I have to make work despite the bizarre ways some email 
clients send stuff out.
