But attachments are not sent in the same POST as when the user completes the typing of their message (by clicking "Send"). It would be sent in a previous POST where the user has clicked on "Add attachment" or somesuch, using an upload. When the user finally clicks "Send" the only thing which will get uploaded is the text part of the message. This does imply that sqwebmail is assembling the draft server-side. Indeed it must be, as the user might choose to add multiple attachments. Regards, Brian.
