Well!

I just went to my Gmail account on the web and looked in the Sent
folder.  All four emails from the Android ap appear in the Gmail sent
folder with attachments, which seem to be invisible to Yahoo and
Thunderbird.  Going back to Yahoo Webmail, I see that there is an
attachment icon in the message list, but there is nothing when I open
the message.  It seems to be impossible to view the raw message in yahoo
Webmail.  In Thunderbird, the attachment is still in the raw text,
similar to what I showed in my first message to you, but not in the
formatted message.

For completeness, here is the raw text that I see in my gmail sent folder.
