I'm sending email messages with attachments (from a Korn Shell script, using
MKS's smtpmail, FWIW) using a SMTP transaction to our Exchange server and a
message contents of:

From: "Stephane Barizien" <stephane.bariz***@oce.com>

The message arrives OK, with the attached PDF files, but also with a
useless, empty, 268-byte ATTnnnnnn.txt attachment.

How do I get this of this?

TIA
