Subject: bug/future feature?

Hi all,
	When I attach a document, I would like to use the
fcc-without-attachments feature, so that I don't create a 50MB sent-mail
folder every month.  However, I don't get a proper listing in PC-Pine 4.21
(don't know about regular Pine) of the file that I attached.  I copied the
email below.  The filename should've shown up as 0177-rsaltzman.txt, which
is what I attached when I sent the email.  Instead, I get the message
below, about a text segment.  I get a similar message when I attach zip
files.  Is this a bug or a feature?

	If this is just the current feature, I ask that the full path
(including network drives) be included, so that my users can tell which
file they attached.  This would be especially useful when my users have to
send out form letters (not plain text), and would like to make sure they
sent the correct one.  Also, it would be great for version control.

	If this is a bug, any hint on when it will be fixed?  (If it's me
missing something, just hit me over the head.)

Thanks,

Robert

It is a feature, however there is a way to get around this and get the
name saved:

After you have finished writing the attachment line you can add a comment
enclosed in quotes, which can tell you (and the person who receives
it) additional information about the file you are sending, so if you write
something like:

Attchmnt: /path/to/attachment "Copy of the contract in /contracts"

this information will be seen by the recipient and kept in your sent-mail
folder at the same time.

 I hope this helps,

Well, I was hoping for something a little more automatic.  It'll work for
me, but not for my users.  :(
