I actually have Pegasus locked into plain-text; I've never seen the
point to html email. But I use a bunch of different email addresses
aliased into my main mailbox. I'm on about two dozen high-volume
news/journo lists, so doing it this way makes filtering incoming mail
lists a LOT easier...
But there's this downside. If I send to a list and forget to make
sure the outgoing headers are using the right alias, sometimes the
message will get bounced and I'll have to resend (usually just a
quick "forward" and a little editing). That's what happened here, and
that added text is an artifact from the process - some headers got
duped, I missed cleaning them out, and pegasus mail thinks it's
attaching the first version to the second. There's not an actual
attachment.
Happens about once a year on some list or other.
Sorry for the panic. No reason for alarm.
