Yes, and if I forward the message to my email program at work, or to my Yahoo
mail, I can open the attachment (as long as I haven't tried to open it in
Windows Mail).

If I had tried to open it in Windows Mail, however, I can forward the
message to other people, but they can't open the attachment. They get a
message that it has been "moved".
