 Here are two versions of what I have in mind (the additions being the added <ul> or <ol> sections; I think I prefer the second version):

<li><a href="0054.html"><strong>Startup Kit file (DOC and RTF)</strong></a>&nbsp;<a name="54"><em>Bruce Smith</em></a>&nbsp;<em>(Fri Jan 12 2001 - 00:37:53 PST)</em>
<ul>
<li><a href="att-0054/01-StartUpKit.DOC">01-StartUpKit.DOC</a>
<li><a href="att-0054/02-StartupKit.rtf">02-StartupKit.rtf</a>
</ul>

<li><a href="0054.html"><strong>Startup Kit file (DOC and RTF)</strong></a>&nbsp;<a name="54"><em>Bruce Smith</em></a>&nbsp;<em>(Fri Jan 12 2001 - 00:37:53 PST)</em>
<ol>
<li><a href="att-0054/01-StartUpKit.DOC">StartUpKit.DOC</a> (160256 bytes)

<li><a href="att-0054/02-StartupKit.rtf">StartupKit.rtf</a> (112609 bytes) </ol>

 For messages whose attachments are all inlined, I would make no changes (unless people encourage me to leave them out of the attachments index entirely - I'm not sure why they are being listed).
