I managed to reproduce the problem. Whenever sending an attachement
from eudora with the attachments standard settings (mime enabled)
the attachment will be gibberish when the recipient is pmm. If I
however choose to uuencode the attachment from eudora, pmm will
recieve two attachments, one empty and one with the actual data,
which looks ok.
So now I guess we have two options: the mime-encoding in eudora of
the attachemnt is botched, or pmm can't properly decode mime
attachments.
