The answer is obvious - because they are effectively using a browser as an
e-mail client (i.e. SeaMonkey or Thunderbird.).
Sheridan could have avoided most of the delays and much of the content of
this thread by zipping up the data and attaching the result. The result
would have been much smaller than 2.7MB and would have been processed as
an attachment.
What Sheridan did was tell his mail client to include the text files as
inline text files
Content-Type: text/plain;
name="ipformat-direct_to_Web.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="ipformat-direct_to_Web.txt"
This says, unless overridden by client specific settings, that the content
should be formatted as part of the message body and so it was.
Just another example of computers doing what you tell them too.
