Problem emailing attachments

Hi,

my problem is this - the person I assign an issue to does not get the attachment to the issue. What is wrong in my configuration? Where do I need to go to fix it?

I have Mantis locally installed and email is working well, but recently the person I assign issues to has told me he's not getting the attachments (I suspect that he hasn't been getting them from the beginning but has chosen now to tell me). In my work I take screen shots of the software, save them as a .PNG file and then attach them before assigning the issue. He has no access to my computer so he can't get to my Mantis installation. I rely on the fact that when he gets the issue, the attachment is there for him to see.

What do I need to fix for him the get the email attachment?

Advice appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. As I understand from this issue on Github it seems that emails should have a list at the bottom showing any new attachments in Mantis for that issue (although I can't seem to get it working either).

That being said, I agree that it would be nice to have the actual attachment included in the email, not just a list of attachments. Looking at this bug on the Mantis bugtracker it's unclear if this feature might is in the pipeline or not, although it seems to me that the OP's issue was misunderstood and thus only the "list of attachments" feature was created.
