I discovered a little quirk with posting blank messages to a LISTSERV
archive.  When someone posts a blank message with a Miscrosoft Word
attachment (.doc), the email to the subscriber is normal; however, the web
archive page puts the MIME code directly into the message.  In other words,
the .doc file doesn't show as an link to an attachment as it normally does.
When you send a blank message with a .txt attachment the same thing happens,
except the normal text is put into the message.  It seems that you must add
some type of characters to the body of the message in order for attached
messages to properly appear as links.

I wonder if this is a problem with LISTSERV itself, or the way various mail
servers convert the messages during transmission.  Any comments would be
helpful.
