I'm confused by the SmarterMail reference. I thought the Q naming convention was unique to IMail. I'm using SmarterMail 2.6, and the only names I've seen have been *.EML and *.HDR files. Did an older version of SmarterMail use Q files? The only renaming I've seen is a switch between uppercase and lowercase (EML to eml) and then an "X" prefix added to the file name when Declude is done processing it.
