Hi all,

I have a problem concerning mail forwarding. When a mail containing a 
attachment is being forwarded to me, the forwarded mail is handled as a 
attachment. A "part 1.2" is displayed in the attachments window. Opening 
this attachment does not encode the attachment:

Content-Type: application/msword;
 name="BI-keuze.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
 filename="BI-keuze.doc"

The mail is being forwarded by Netscape 4.5 running on windows and I am 
using Mozilla 0.91 running on SuSE 7.1
Worst of all is that outlook (sorry for my French) is reading the mail 
correctly. It shows a attached mail containing a attachment both can be 
opened and read.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Bert.
