 I'd have made the same guess, but the sample headers had
  >MIME-Version: 1.0
    :
  >Content-Type: multipart/mixed; ...
which I took to mean that the attachments got through with a MIME-compliant
identification.

Now THIS is certainly worth checking! but again, the forwarded set of
headers seems to imply the copy with attachments came through the list.

If the answer to Ben Parker's set of alternative descriptions is NOT #1,
many of us are confused.

If it IS #1, then I remain somewhat interested in the MIME descriptors for
the various parts of the message, particularly the attachment(s).
