I thought that was what the bug was. When I ran 1.5.9.1, a drag-n-dropped email was attached as application/octet-stream. When I upgraded to 1.5.91 and tried again, a drag-n-dropped email was attached as message/rfc822. Do you rely on the pattern of the name of the attachment to notice that it is a uids+folder, instead of the mimetype? If so, there is still a bug, because Evo 1.5.91 looks at that application/octet- stream attachment, and will only let me Save As. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B "I need an expert on the pain I'm goin' thru, so I keep George on the ol' turn table 'till I'm over you..."
