well the guy here gave me his sermon about corporate wide standards and one

Well the thing is that he sent the mail mail, and I had set up TB to NOT delete
the msg on the server, so I could see it in Outlook and TB! at the same time,
and in TB it had 35 KB or so, and I could see the little table that he was
copying (it was not markable, just like an image). and in TB! it had the 600
bytes and was empty! 8-()
Do you have OUtlook? I pulled the message via d&d out into Explorer and zipped
it, maybe that could help, too?

Well I wonder abou the server, too, since he was mailing it CC: to my home
address, too, and here TB! Also didn't display it, but it at least said
##OLE OBJECT##
(but the size was only 1800 BYTES! so i was empty too. This is really a mystery!
Anyone from RITLABS reading this???
