[imp] 0 Byte Attachment

[Brad Vedders]

I finally located the problem.  I don't know if anyone uses Bastille Linux
or not but it is a program that is used to harden RedHat Linux.  Needless
to say, it installs a Temp Directory protection script that messes around
with $TMP and $TMPDIR for a more secure /tmp  directory.  IMP did not like
this script and would create the attachment in /tmp, but could not find
it once it was created.  I removed the program and all is well.  Thanks to
all those that assisted.

Thanks,

In the username: field? The only thing we check for is the $REMOTE_USER 
variable - would you have that set to root for some reason?

That version of IE has a bad content-disposition bug in it... I _can_ download 
stuff if I do a "save link as" on the download button, though.
