Re: [TCML] attachments will not open

[Gary Lau <glau1024@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's an artifact of the TCML list software.  I can't explain why it sends
these attachmants, but they're just small text attachments and you should be
able to open them, even though they contain nothing useful.  If you can't
open them, your PC has a problem.  But just ignore them.
