I didn't either, once I saved it to disk.  The problem is that my mailer
didn't display it, because it was base64 encoded as a binary file, rather
than plain-text encoded.  I hate having to save attachments to disk when
they are plain text, but encoded in such a way that my mailer won't
display it.
