Greetings. I've just installed DBMail onto my desktop, and I'm doing some testing - I'm hoping to install on our server if all goes well. We're currently using courier-imap, but I'm having 'issues'. The first snag I've hit is with attachments inside forwarded files. Thunderbird has the optio

Hi, I am using 2.1.3(? actually a fixed version from svn after reporting some other problems with mime attachments; cannot look up the exact version right now), but I do have the same problem with forwarded emails containing attachments (especially text/rfc822 type attachments). Regards, Stanley
