    Your AOL 6.0 mail program is probably treating the MIME encapsulated
    formatted content of David's messages as attachments. Most emailers would
    recognize this pattern ("multipart/alternative") and only display the

    Example of one of David's messages raw source is (with the bulk of the body
    text deleted)...
