I believe, TB! puts message into temporary file first and AV can catch it there. My AVP did it, but I didn't try to clean this file, just deleted - nothing was destroyed, I didn't get infected message and that's it. And if you store attachments separately AV definitely can check it and even clean it up with no problem. -- Best regards, Boris mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.54 Beta/15 on Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6 -- _________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Beta: 1.54 beta/15 Wish List : http://wish.thebat.dutaint.com
