Okay if I send a message to myself from Netscape, then it shows up in
imp as an attachment which I have to download.  So it looks like this
is the case.  I'm not very informed on MIME, since I don't send a lot
of attachments, and I prefer to only get plaintext mail myself.  Is
the MIME-Version header required by the RFC's.  It would be nice if I
could my users that they are being sent improperly formatted email,
although I'm sure they'll whine about how Eudora displays it anyways.
