One thing you can count on with TB is that TB doesn't alter incoming messages, so if the message got at your mail server with an attachment, it still has that attachment when TB downloads it. There is a possibility that TB won't display the attachment for whatever reason. In that case you can press <F9> while you've selected the message. Then you'll see the source code of the message. Now you'll see every part of the message. An attachment will look like this: ------=_NextPart_000_0012_01C3C70F.9442ABA0 Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="kerstkrt je.jpg" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="kerstkrt je.jpg" /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAMCAgMCAgMDAwMEAwMEBQgFBQQEBQoHBwYIDAoMDAsK CwsNDhIQDQ4RDgsLEBYQERMUFRUVDA8XGBYUGBIUFRT/2wBDAQMEBAUEBQkFBQkUDQsNFBQUFBQU FBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBT/wAARCAEQAjgDASIA AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQA This is a part from the first attachment I could find in my messagebase, but it shows what you need to look for. Now you know what to look for, you can see whether the problem is TB or the sender. Remember TB doesn't alter incoming messages, it cannot do that, so the source code shows you the message your ISP delivered it to you. When you find an attachment included that TB won't show, you might try to forward the message to yourself. In some cases with problematic messages that helps to solve the problem. You might consider forwarding (using mime forwarding) the message to Ritlabs so that they can look into the reason why it didn't behave. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
