I think it's just you.  Those in non-computing offices send me lots of
emails, each with a moderately-sized image or two for the footer, quite
often in a poor choice of image format.  Then a long thread just tacks
on a few lines at the top and another attachment or two at the bottom,
leaving all the others present.

Sometimes I get all the attachments duplicated, ABCABC, sometimes
thrice.

Cheers, Ralph.
