Pete, I'm guessing you were replying to Sherry's response to my original message, but the list definition in my case does not have the keyword ATTACHMENTS in it at all - there is no special handling for any type of attachment. The attachment problem is intermittent - most of the time attachments go to the list fine, but occasionally they disappear. The same user can be successful in sending an attachement one time and fail another time. The same attachment can be sent successfully to one list (with an identical configuration but fewer subscribers) but fail when sent to the other list. The same file can ALWAYS be sent to a user directly, bypassing the list. I don't know if the attachments are being posted as multipart/alternative or not - mostly they disappear "in transit" and I can't tell exactly where it happens, but it looks like Listserv never sees the attachment. One example I have of a successful attachment used multipart/mixed, and it was a Word document just like the one that disappeared, so I don't think it would have been multipart/alternative.

What does the list definition look like esp. the keyword ATTACHMENTS? e.g., are certain kinds of attachments being allowed/excluded? Are the attachments being posted as multipart/alterative ? Is some a/virus filtering occurring by the outbound MTA? e.g., can the list-owner who is having difficulties email the attachment directly to you (bypassing the list processing)?
