I just recognized that my posts to this list have an empty text file attached when returned to me (due to REPRO). I wonder where this text attachement comes from, and if others see that attachement with my posts as well.


I'm (mostly) using AltaMail on my iPad to work with lists. I regularly post to other lists as well but am seeing this text attachement only here on JES2-L.


Any ideas why?

Interestingly, the attachement is not seem in the BCC copy I sent to another of my mail accounts. So it seems to be the ListServ which is creating the attachement.

Do you have a picture imbedded in your e-mail?

No, at least not willingly and visible to me. 


As said, I'm using exactly the same tool on the same device to also post to other lists and I do not see the attchement there. 


Do you see the attachement in my posts? Does it contain anything?

No attachments. No indicators of one.

Ahhh, this is interesting. So I conclude that nobody is being bored by those fake attachements that maybe only I can see. I'll stop investigating this any further. Thanks for the help
