Funny that if someone sends me a .JPG attachment, OE displays it inline, but
the .TXT attachments do not :(

I *might* give Sylpheed a go.  I've tried several other clients for Windows:
mutt, pine, Mahogany, and was never able to get it working to my satisfaction.
OE may not be the Rolls Royce of email clients, but at least it works with a
minimum of fuss.
