I've had the same problem as Mark for a long time, with varying versions of TB! I sent email to the list back in April, and nobody had any clues then. The attitude seemed to be "well it doesn't happen to me, so I guess it must be a problem on your end". Luckily, other people are starting the experience the "attachment corruption" issue, so maybe it will get resolved. Allie, it shouldn't matter what client the senders are using. The points are this: - The mail is being received and stored properly by TB! (otherwise, you would not be able to forward it to another user and have them be able to read the attachment correctly. If it was network errors, ISP related, or a problem with how TB! stores messages, forwarding the message would result in the forwarded copy being unreadable by the new recipient, which is NOT the case. The attachments which are corrupt for me in TB! can always be forwarded to a non-TB! user and be perfectly readable). - This leads me to believe there are issues with how TB! decodes attachments, such that under certain circumstances (which are yet to be determined), attachments are corrupted. - In any event, TB! should never corrupt an attachment, regardless of what MUA is used. I have sent zip'd versions of a TB! folder that contains corrupt attachments to other TB! users, including Thomas F., a frequent participant on this list, and they have verified that indeed, the attachments are corrupt for them when they open the folder... yet forwarding that same message to a non-TB! user results in a perfectly readable message. The key now is to get the authors to look at why these attachments are being corrupted when they are opened by TB!, and get a fix into the next version! ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
