Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for your feedback, but this is actually the other way round compared to my initial question, if I understand your comment right: - what you say, is someone sends an email with attachment from Apple Mail and when you try to open it in exmh it does not show the attachment, did I get that right? - my problem is inverse: I send an email with exmh, and someone with Apple Mail opens it and there is no sign of any attachment, Maybe those two are related. In any case, any help/suggestion by anyone is appreciated.
