It might have occurred to you that some mailers automagically encode all
attachments (mine does -- PINE 3.96 for UNIX). Most of the Windows-based
mailers encode attachments as MIME by default. So it might not be the
previous poster's fault if he were unaware of this. In any case, words
like "HELL" and "crap" are IMO just a little bit too intransigent and
unfriendly for this list, because you sure got my attention.

If you were unable to read his post, you were in no way obligated to
answer it; but likewise, that didn't mean you had to yell at him.
