I used to have this too, but now I never see the list-server pre-data
(sender, poster, etc.).
It seems IE4 (Outlook Express) cuts away the message header that the
list-serv puts at the beginning, and it handles *all* decoding/encoding nice
and well. I click on the paperclip and a list of files appears. I've chosen
the zip-file and winzip appears.
It seems to me, it does consider the message wrap, (the list-server puts
another message header around it) the real mail header (as it should), but
the old message header is hidden and interpreterd also.
I'm not that big a fan of MS, or any other company spending more than half
their income in marketing, but some products of them *do* work. (And it's
free, wel free.. you need to install IE4.. giving them it an advantage over
other browsers blink
