Apple Mail has concealed attachments from me for the last time I hope!
I noted a while ago that Apple Mail puts attachments inside the HTML
half of the multipart/alternative container instead of outside in an
outer multipart/mixed. If you've set up to prefer the plain text half

No problem, I understand now. Yes, digests tend to be broken in such
and other ways (see sig ;). Note there is a third possibility besides
, lacking any Content-Type,
Apple Mail tag, Received, and most fields out of Date/From/To/Subject
and those added by Mutt itself. No mystery it didn't display well, and
I even doubt the mail reached you in this form. However the enveloppe in
From_ is OK...
So something destroyed the original header
from the other broken mail, right?
Anyway: This full header is completely broken, lacking any Content-Type,

Greetings,
Could anyone suggest the best way to cleanup this sort of mail? I have

not an attachment.

For what purpose? If you need
the problem lies: Please post
it (or privately to me if you prefer). It has probably been munged on
your mail path. Apple Mail is well known for its various brokenesses,
but AFAICS not this one...
Workaround for this mail: Select the mail in index, and do:

Assuming the appropriate headers were present in the
Some attachments, when Apple mail puts them in an email will make it part of
the email instead of the traditional attachment. Plain text files are one of
those kinds.
On the senders side, when they send an email and click on the 'paperclip' to
insert and attachment, they have to click
