Funny you should mention this. Something that I wanted to do a long time ago but was stymied by the mess that was m_scan if I remember correctly was to change the code so that when you did a scan it would show 1 some message 1.1 first attachment ... and also have the ability to do things like show 1.1. Damn you for making me thing that I should still do this. Jon
