Well, we need to find some way to reconcile the standards and  
usability. The parts list is *not* a user friendly or obvious solution  
to this. And your statements about what the sending user intended are  
over inferential in my opinion. I'm pretty sure the sender of the  
message that inspired this test intended me to be able to download the  
excel spreadsheet without a). picking it from a raw list of every part  
of the message, and b). being able to view it inline in my mail client.

What do you think is wrong about how Mail.app displays this message?

We did a lot of work during the initial DIMP project on usability of  
the attachments list, trying to match up with other user-friendly  
clients, etc. I don't want IMP 5 to lose this.
