I've gotten the same result with the three platfoms we use on campus,
Outlook ver 2003, Eudora 6.0 and Iplanet Messenger.  I've also tried several
different users, all with the same results. Below is my list header:

Subscription= Closed
Ack= Yes
Attachments= Yes
Language= Exchange
Confidential= Yes
Validate= Yes,Confirm
Reply-to= List,Respect
Review= Owner
Send= Private
Errors-To= Owner
Notebook= Yes,f:\www\archives,Weekly,Private
.HH ON
Filter= Also,*.*@western.edu
Owner= [log in to unmask]

No moderator.

Thanks for your help!

Do all subscribers receive the message with the MIME separators and encoded
attachment embedded in the body of the message, or are some subscribers able
to open the attachment as a separate file?

In all cases where I have seen the MIME boundaries and encoded attachments
embedded in the body of the message, the list was configured as a moderated
list and the moderator was forwarding the approval request to the list
address, rather than responding to the approval request in the appropriate
manner (The Infamous OK Mechanism).
