No I am stupid but not that stupid :-) I changed my settings from pop3server 127.0.0.1 to mail.skydsl.de and this requires an open internet connection to pull (did I say that right) the mail to my PC. I said in an earlier email that this stripping appears to be very selective and far more intelligent than I. It only appears to strip spam but I do recall the emails I viewed intact before DID contain text and not just an external reference to an image or site elsewhere. Something on my computer seems to be leaping in at the transfer stage from localhost folder to TheBat! to kill the content. Could it be SPYBOT? It is not designed to do this as far as I know but apart from that and AVG and Kerio is the only stuff I have running except of course my satellite software which always running. -- Morpheus ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
