Thanks for the offer to send the script! I'll look forward to it! Regarding the eMA stuff -- yes, if eMA archives the message and it still has the attachment, then it does record the attachment's name. However, it does not archive the attachment. So, when eMA archives the message and deletes it, the attachment is lost.
