No, they don't. I don't see how this matters, in my particular case: running Linux, binmode has little effect on text files. The point I'm trying to make is that the file shown was what was received from XMail *before* the filter itself read the file and possibly modified it. By doing a diff after the Virus filter examined it and right before SA looked at it, they are exactly the same. -Don - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
