The MIME standard (a set of RFCs) specifies how valid messages with attachments should look like. Fetch the mail (unprocessed if possible) and look at its structure. If it is conformant to the MIME standard, then "Thunderbird" made a mistake; otherwise, something went wrong with the message construction. I can already say that "smtplib" is not to blame. It is (mostly) unconcerned with the internal structure of the message -- and by itself will not empty attachments. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
