Actually John, I see attachments from you still, I believe the problem
you are having is that exchange ignores that switch when you hit the
reply button. I used to use exchange, but got rid of it because you can
not (cleanly) reply easily. I think you have to manually do something
everytime you hit the reply button... too long ago, can't remember exact
detail, easiest fix to the problem is by trashing MS garbage software.

BTW, does anyone see extra garbage attached to this mail? Sent from
Netscape Communicator, not sure if this mailer does the unwanted
attachment thing.

Thanks,
Joel A. Kunze
