Yes, I've noticed attachments seeming to appear with some messages lately too. I
think it's linked to whether the message is plain text or not - when there's an
attachment, there's also a line at the top saying "This message was written in a
character set other than your own." and offering the possibility of opening it in a
new window if it doesn't display correctly. This is something my webmail does
because of its limited display capabilities (I think - things like accents typed on a
French computer often turn into something weird). I don't see any attachment
when I get the same e-mail at home (using a standard mail software).
I think it's nothing to be worried about, but no doubt Anselm or one of the
numerous other "computer people" (as opposed to dabblers like myself) on this list
will give a more accurate explanation.
