Yup! Here's another one ... a blank message with
an attachment.
Of course I won't open it ...
Somewhere on your system will be a file called mime.types or some
equivalent. That's what your mail program uses to determine what type the
attachment is. You need to update it. If you're lucky, you also have a
mailcap file somewhere that tells your mailer how to handle it -- telling
it to treat it as plain text (or better still, the way it handles
multipart/alternative will possibly work) is both safe and useful (in that
you'll be able to read it).
