Hey ,
I did some testing and I noticed that from web mail when
attached it seems that if the attachment name is a certain amount of
characters (long like 21 or more) could be a little less when it is sent
and the receiver gets the mail the attachment name is changed to ATT****
( the *** represent numbers). Is there any way to change this so that
attachments come in as there name or is this supposed to happen. Thanks
for your help.

Yep it's seen (search the list archives), but it's almost certainly a
client
issue at the receiving end. Sqwebmail encodes filenames which contain
odd
characters like spaces using a standard encoding method defined in RFCs,
but
which not all MUAs understand.
I suggest you send one of these mails to a mailbox somewhere, then
retrieve
it: either using telnet like this
$ script foo.txt
$ telnet x.x.x.x 110
user username
pass password
retr 1
quit
$ exit
$
Or if you have access to the Maildir where it's stored, then copy the
file
from Maildir/cur/xxxxxxx and gzip it. Then you can paste it onto a
message
to this list, and we can tell you if the MIME headers are correct
(Content-Disposition ??), in which case it's the receiving MUA which is
at
fault.
Regards,
Brian.
