However, on my Eudora 4.0, I still received an attachment with Phil's
letter of apology.
It was entitled "The mail and problems I caused." Apparently some e-mail
clients want to spit out an attachment automatically that carries the
subject of the e-mail and which I receive as a file which consumes drive
space if I don't erase it. Other e-mail clients send out "vcards," which
must also be erased. These are unintentional attachments which are of no
use to most e-mail clients. They occupy bandwidth when being transmitted
and drive space after they are received.
If you have an e-mail client that produces such attachments, you may not
even be aware of it. But if you know about them and if it is possible to
eliminate them, please do.
