you are using a HTML aware mailer that will attach files and pictures.

when someone with a similar type mailer gets this - it shows up as an
attachment - or even the picture directly.

for those that do not use such a mail program - the picture/attachment
gets turned into a very long "uuencoded" file that is capable
of being sent through regular mail.

with extra work - they could save this - run it through a special
program and see what you sent.

even those with HTML readers that get the digest will get the long
file.

MS-Word, Excel etc all do the same thing too.
