What I got was a little square with a red X init, indicating that the picture could not be displayed. No guessing on IE's side that it might be HTML. > Any idea if The Bat would be vulnerable to this?? No. If you click on an attachement tag with a .jpg extension, and it is not a JPG file, the viewer will not be able to display the pciture, that's all. If you click on the attachment icon, your default viewer will be opened, and that is outside of TBs realm of influence. If JPG files are associated with Irfanview, you simply get an error message about wrong format. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. "What? What the hell is a RFC?
