Thunderbird Email body includes the attachement

[Dazed_75]

I used to use Thunderbird in XP, now I use it in ubuntu.  I have often
received emails with attached zip files and had no problem with them.  I've
no idea why you might have had the problem but I would look elsewhere.


   - Ask the sender if he really did attach the zip file.
   - Ask him if he attached it using the attachment button or if he dragged
   and dropped it on his email program.
   - Try opening the headers fully (View/Headers/All) and look for clues
   - Turn off View attachments inline (in the View Menu) and try again
