I thought you were having a lend of me Chris. Then I noted someone
complaining about a message they couldn't open, so I went back to your
and had another look.
I noticed a small icon and when I clicked it, it said:
"Digital Signature is not valid
This message includes a digital signature, but the signature is invalid.
The signature does not match the message content correctly. The message
appears to have been altered after the sender signed it. You should not
trust the validity of this message until you verify the content of the
message with the sender.

Message Not Encrypted
This message was not encrypted before it was sent. Information sent over
the Internet without encryption can be seen by other people while in
transit.
[OK]"
So I guess the answer is a resounding *no* on both counts. Some people
can't even (apparently) read your message, others can, but it appears to
be invalid, and it's not something obvious and noticeable anyway.
However the two huge blocks of binary crap are just as bad as attaching
an image to your message.
Oh, sorry, one of the *IS* an attached image.
You have successfully tuned a 4k message into a 21k message with a net
reduction in utility.
My guess is the reason the digital signature is invalid is that the
message has been sent via a mailing list which probably results in parts
of the headers and maybe even the message body being rewritten.

p.s. Good to hear your Mum's on the mend.
