Maybe so, but that is the way some other email clients handle it, and some people actually LIKE that (not me, but some do). >>3: If the Detach on Receipt option is selected... have an additional >>option that will delete the attachment when the email it came from is >>deleted.

Nah, it wouldn't bother telling you anything. If the attachment is gone, it just continues on with no worries. (I would venture to say that it should also treat a moved attachment as no longer available to delete... otherwise it would never be able to tell if you moved the attachment because you wanted to keep it. Nothing like moving the attachment to some working documents folder, making some changes, and deciding that you no longer need the original email, and having the Email client delete it on you!) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
