Live mail (Hotmail) and Gmail work fine for me. However, with yahoo, I can see there is an attachment, but cannot download it through the web interface. I think I found a fix though. When I set the mime type to application/xml instead of multipart/xml, it seems to work jut fine in yahoo web interface. I guess it would work too in all clients. Just a bit more testing and I then I'd commit it. Thanks for bringing up the issue and following up with more information. > Lastly, Thunderbird sometimes hides attachments, but it has an add-on > called Show All Body Parts (I kid you not!) that is supposed to make > mal-formed attachments visible.
