I haven't found this to be the case - we just tried sending an rtf
attatched from outlook express to outlook express & it dosen't display
the raw version of the file in the email text - the attatchment just
appears as an icon for people to save the file or open it in an
appropriate viewer. There is no inline display of the attatched RTF file
on our systems.

In my case the mailer is not able to display the file - it displays the
.rtf file inline at the bottom of the message as if it were a text file
(ie. illegibly with thousands of \'s etc - the raw rtf formatting)
Here's an extract:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0
Arial;}}

I just tried attatching a zip file, and the problem dosen't occur in my
Mozilla.
I will try sending a zip attatchment to my colleague who uses eudora - I
was particuarly worried that he was not able to get my RTF attatchment
in useable form at all.
