I promised my B-I-L that I would ask the question for him. > Because you told it to! <snipped> I got an indignant (tongue-in-cheek) response from my brother-in-law when I sent him a copy of your reply. "*No I didn't!*" As a test he had set up a new account on The Bat! and it defaulted to the setting "forward messages as attachments (MIME standard)" with no user intervention. He then did a clean install on another computer - set up a new account and once again it defaulted to that setting. (In both cases the accounts were IMAP.) He obviously has too much time on his hands being able to do all this experimenting ;-) . On looking at my own installation I find that all six POP accounts have the setting unticked, while my one IMAP account has it ticked. It would appear that The Bat! applies different settings depending on whether the account is POP or IMAP. Not a problem as we now know why it was forwarding the eml attachment and how to prevent it (if desired), but thought I would pass this on to add to the store of knowledge -- Regards, Bob Using The Bat! v3.65.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
