In practice I > have used Thunderbird to read them, which is pretty crazy really... we have code that *tries* to display any attachment inside a message/related that isn't "used" by the body, but I guess it got broken (or for some reason doesn't work in this particular case?). what I find hilarious is that this message was generated by an Outlook client and OWA can't even find the attachment :) Microsoft can't even handle its own brokenness.
