I have been told that the attachment appears grayed out
(unavailable) and cannot be opened.  One user reported
that he even had difficulties deleting the message.

Most of the attachments I sent are PDF, but I know that I
sent a MS Word (.doc) attachment once that caused the same
trouble. 

It does appear to be 100% reproducible. Apparently Nerijus
believes that it derives from inclusion of the full path
name in the Content-Type name parameter, which my Mahogany
still does.  (And in fact I recall this creating some
difficulty for me with Notes too at one point, so I am
glad in any case that this is fixed in CVS and therefore
hopefully soon in a snapshot.)

Thanks,
Alan

PS I'm using version 0.66.0, which I think is the most
recent for Windows.
