Not that I know any answers... but to clarify your questions: Do these mails show up correctly in Apple Mail? Do they show up correctly in Apple Mail if they have been opened first in Power Mail? I've sometimes noticed that after an html mail has been opened in Power Mail it will not then open correctly in Apple Mail. I think there may be an option in Apple Mail to "show attachments inline" which sometimes helps. My solution to these problems is to use Thunderbird. I don't delete anything off the server and the filters work pretty well to direct to folders. It will generally open correctly something even if it has been opened in PowerMail first. -- Barbara Needham
