but.... but... that's how gmail does it... so that's how everyone should... right? I mean, I see some advantage to virus scanning when demanding the attachment... if the attachment came in before a virus signature was made for it, it's that last chance to protect the lusers from themselves. but for those of us with a clue, it's a real pain in the ass. just reject viruses at the front door, and you'll be fine. 'client-side' scanning (squirrelmail IS a client, even though it's run on a server) is not a 'feature'. Don't think you should do it that way just because thunderbird does it. The only reason thunderbird or kmail have client-side virus scanning support is because some providers don't do their own scanning. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the beginning was The Word and The Word was Content-type: text/plain -- The Word of Bob.
