Well here is the problem.  When I send email I want to
append some text to the email.  I have been able to
figure out how to do that.  The thing that I do not
understand is why outlook and yahoo mail think there
is an attachment when there I only appended some text
to the email.  The paperclip signifies that there is
an attachment.  Once I open the email the paper clip
disappears and then outlook does not think there is an
attachment (because there really isn't one).  When I
use netscape mail or outlook express they do not see
that the email has an attachment.  I find this a
strange problem and I think it might have to do with
the boilerplate function.
