Thanks L.D. ... I will experiment with this, especialy the right
clicking at the images.

For me they are stored in the cache... but with their original name so
that's no problem exept long windows names tends to get the same name in
the 8.3 system... and two different files with the same name can not be
stored in the cache.
Same problem occurs if a large attachment does stop downloading: than it
is partly stored in the cache.
A second or third try on downloading usualy gives the whole file but
this file is not loaded in the cache because there is already a file
(partly :-( ). So the complete file is lost!
So after an unsuccesfull download I have to delete teh broken attachment
from the cache before the next attempt... quite anoying.
Regards and thanks, Bastiaan
