It's in POP (and Hotmail) Rules but not in IMAP Rules. Hence the discrepancy in what people are seeing. I think that messages have to be downloaded in order to be decoded past the headers, so attachments are not visible to Entourage while still on the IMAP server, not yet downloaded. I would have thought that Entourage could at least detect the presence of an attachment from the headers, even if not able to do more with them, but that's how it is. I don't know how it manages to do it with Hotmail.
In any case, as has been mentioned already, those .scr, .exe, .pif, .bat and .com attachments can do nothing on a Mac. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
