(Reaching in my wallet for a couple of pennies...) Personally, I *love* the way Entourage handles attachments. I administer the mail at the company I work for and there have been many a time that I've needed to examine the source of a message to troubleshoot a problem someone was having. I really appreciate the fact that, whether the message was incoming or outgoing, I can view *exactly* what was sent. The fact that Entourage stores the entire message as received from the mail server, instead of stripping the attachment or modifying the message in any way, is *very* valuable to me. I also do quick file conversions/manipulation for fellow employees which I promptly send back to them. I have no need to keep the files once I'm done with them so I generally toss them, but I have a copy in my sent items if it needs to be resent or if an additional modification is needed. Personally I'd rather attachment handling remain as it is or at the most that your suggestions be an option. -Remo Del Bello -- "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." - Bilbo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
