Initially, I did save the message for upload from Firefox 2 (Mac). I just
saved a version of a message also sent from a Quickmail client through IE7
and the attachment (.xls) also showed up when opened in outlook exp.

I also have SquirrelMail 1.4.13 installed, side by side with IMP, and it
does show the binhex4 messages as attachments....

I can send an email natively from a mac client with an encoded attachment
to one of you if you wish - to see if the attachments show up for you..
