Nothing to do with Exim - which is why you'll find nothing much in archives.
It is a Yahoo and MUA issue - but not necessarily one you want to change.
- Yahoo may be adding headers and footers with links and adverts to your
message.
- Your MUA display may be set to display 'inline' any attachments that
it *can* display that way.
- But you may wisely have rules blocking html, junk, added adverts.
- And - of course, your own original composition may something 'other
than' pure 7-bit plaintext.
So there are attachments - you are just not seeing them separately.
Look at the entire message source. You key is in lines such as:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
and
boundary="----=_Part_5_24501937.1208891582610"
Look also for html tags or links...
HTH,
