ATTACHMENTS=NO does not specifically relate to DIGESTs. Similarly, though
you would intuitively think that NO means NO, it seems to mean NO for
non-text based documents e.g., octet encodings.  Things like .VBS are not
filtered. Nevertheless as others have attested on LSTOWN-L, sometimes
these MIME attachments interact with other elements of the Digest
including BOTTOM_BANNER template (that occurs toward the top of the
Digest).  When someone has problems with their MIME digest, I almost
always advise them to SET NOMIME.  This usually "works" for them, albeit
w/o the benefit of MIME.
