There is one thing I forgot to mention. It's only a small thing :-). This
ONLY occurs when a point list is incorporated into the nodelist. If the
point list is not in there, then the file attach goes to the boss node as
it should.



 db> Should we raise this as a bug/quirk in Squish?



I don't know. I'm not sure how these things are supposed to work but it
seems to me that both the message and the file should go to the bossnode or
the point only. I'd call it a bug, but a very subtle one.
