What I am looking for is something that lists each attachment on its own on a separate line as in: Attachments: - Regulation of the Engineering Profession.doc - Regulation of the Engineering Profession.pdf That's what my Oattachments_one_per_line QTs produce for me when listing the attachments to the original message being forwarded or replied to. The problem with long filenames is that you can use , in the filename, and there does not have to be an extension. As such trying to search for a , or a file extension is likely to have issues. Yep, reformatting the listing by searching for commas and dots would not help there! Maybe what is needed is for the macro to have an option such as %ATTACHMENTS(1) means one attachment per line and %ATTACHMENTS does things the way they currently are. I don't understand why anybody would _want_ them listed on one line anyway. One per line is much easier to read :-; -- Best regards, MFPA Beware the deadly donkey falling slowly from the sky Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Current version is 4.2.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
