I got a message this time. Apparently your mailer doesn't do what you think
it does.
If you figure omitting your message is not a problem, then why post it?
I don't know what your mailer's documents tell you it does, but I've seen
this before, and it doesn't just put the signature in the attachment, but,
rather, puts the entire message in it, so one gets an empty message with a
pair of attachments, one of which is the message as a .txt file and the
other of which is a .dat file, albeit not what Windows, if that matters,
expects to find in a .dat file, which is a music file of some sort, since it
brings up the media player to process it.
