Not all of them specified the kind of the attachment. One user was  
telling me that there was an attachment shown in a message which  
actually didn't have one. An other saw a MS-powerpoint, a mpg and two  
mp3 files instead of a single MS-word file attached to a message in  
his sent-mail folder.

After a day or so, when they checked again the messages looked fine again.

This is a rather critical probelm, because unauthorized access to  
private is potentially possible.
