Hey Chris, Sorry for the late reply. Been a ugly day if you know what I mean. Well on your issue I will be the first to agree with you. I am no expert with email structure and have learned in the last year that there are tons of different methods that they get sent. Mainly I see Microsoft clients being the ones that change up their methods with different products. Outlook express sends one way, OL 97 sends another way and OL2k sends another way. Its been difficult enough just trying to block these attachments, much less trying to parse through inboxes and strip attachments. I could only suggest reading the RFC on it and seeing if there is some kind of standard, of course this doesn't mean that everyone is following it :(
