The Mailman software (which this list uses -- 
http://mailman.sourceforge.net) "scrubs" attachments in the archives and 
possibly the digests. This just means that it moves the attachments to a 
location on the server and inserts a link to the attachment instead. In 
previous versions it included the entire base64 encoded attachment, 
which was a mess. If there is no text section in a message, the HTML 
section will be treated like an attachment. Or maybe it always will, I'm 
not certain.
