    I kind of gathered that. :-)

    I repeat again: file attaches don't work in echomail. No tossers that I
know of will forward a file attached to an echomail message. Interesting
that your tosser seemed to send it off to your uplink though?

    If file attaching via echomail was possible, you would have seen
several people abuse it by now.  ... it's bad enough with
uuencodes.
