Could you send an email like this to me at jcam2222@yahoo.com.au ?
I suspect this is really a Yahoo mail issue ..

Actually, I was able to re-produce this - it only happens if the mail has an HTML body.
It really feels like a Yahoo bug though, as there isn't anything in the email saying that the attachment shouldn't be displayed..

I would tend to think this as well, however, it does work on an older version of Usermin that I have active (v 1.350). Has there been some change since then and the version 1.410 that is causing this not to work?

OK, I think I see what could be the cause .. since 1.400, email with HTML and text bodies use the multipart/alternative MIME type, which I suspect is confusing Hotmail and Yahoo mail. I will look into fixing this..

This will be fixed in Usermin 1.420.
