[Xymon] recovered mails with attachment

[henrik at hswn.dk]

A quick search of the mail archive turned up this message:
http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2011-September/032499.html

It's your mail agent ("Heirloom mailx 12.4", according to your log) that
inserts the "Content-type: application/octet-stream" header, that causes
your mail reading program to treat the message as an attachment.

Fixing it is outside Xymon.

Regards,
Henrik
