Mail.app Display Options

I was working on a webpage at school, and I e-mailed the .html file to myself to continue working on it here at home.



I opened it in Mail.app and, to my dismay, there was no attached file. Instead it had rendered the not-quite-finished html in the body of the message. But I hadn't typed any text into the body section. So, I had to get the mail directly off of the IMAP server.



Is there anyway to have Mail.app NOT do that? I just want it to allow me to download the attachments.



Any ideas?

    You could have created a .sit. Have you checked the webmail version on Mac.com, Maybe that way you can download it.

    The thing is, I don't have a .Mac account. I use the school's free e-mail account. (I'm poor. I even use dial-up at home because it's free.)



    Even worse, I was using a Windows 2000 computer at school. I don't know how to make a .sit file in Windows. (I didn't even think it could be done. Can it?)



    Thanks for the idea, though. Any other ideas?

    From what my friend told me (a PC user) there is a PC version of Stuffit. What email are you using? Does that have a webmail version?

    Do it as a zip file on the PC and get the latest Stuffit Expander on your Mac, which can expand zip archives.



    All free!

    Er, menu item View -> Show -> Raw Source (Cmd-opt-U)



    You can then select the text and save to a file.

    Thanks Kickaha, that did the trick.
