The Phoenyx can handle attachments now, under certain circumstances. If you attach a graphic or binary (.zip, etc.) file to your message, the software will automagically put it on the web page and put a link in your message. However. It only nests one deep. The most recent example was a two-level MIME; one multi-part alternative (in which case the new software will just distribute the text version) in which a text/html was nested. That's just plain ugly, and the software scraps the nested part. (Usually. Other times it will send it through, as is, but without the mime-headers it will display in a yucky manner and everyone will sneer at you for it.) Also, I don't think .html files are snagged, on the theory that if they were, all sorts of useless garbage would be saved because lots of mail programs feel compelled to put HTML in email, and the list owner would thereby be compelled to spend the better part of his life cleaning up the directory so the useful stuff was not buried in a sea of "same message I just posted, only with around it" stuff. -- Karen J.
