I think all the bugs in email have been fixed in the stable cvs branch.  

Just so people know, anglemail has its own development cycle and mailing
list anglemail at free-source.com.  phpGroupWare officially supports the
stable brnach of cvs version of anglemail, and if catch us on a good day
we can help with other version of anglemail.

This is an anglemail table, not a phpgw email table.  afaik this feature
is only available in the last couple of anglemail tarballs and the HEAD
branch of cvs.

Ummm .... it has always been a requirement to have file_uploads = On for
email attachments (and filemanager/phpwebhosting uploads) to work.  It
is also covered in phpgwapi/doc/php-configuration.txt ... Sorry we
didn't think of this one :)
