With this hack you can send attachments inside private messages.
Sometimes you may want to send an image or file to another user, but
you just don't want to disclose your email or make the file public,
with this hack you can attach it to the private message.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/ and
http://www.vbulletin.org/ at least, please don't pm me asking for permission.

Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
