I do not understand the complaint. What do you mean, "PMMail did not
look inside the attachment to see what was there"? At what point is
PMMail expected to "look inside" an attachment? When you double-click
the attachment, right? Did you do that and have it fail?

Regarding sending as an attachment or sending as part of the text, do
you prefer the latter? Are you saying that it is part of an RFC to
send a key as part of the body?
