Probably true, but this is *only* a behavior I experience in Entourage (and that is after applying SP2) -- it never happens in Apple Mail or Thunderbird, both of which I tried to see if it is a problem with the IMAP server (it isn't). So, something is going fishy with Entourage's attempted connections to the server. > >> 1. Some attachments showing inline: > > What do you mean by 'showing inline'?

These are useless as it is a ton of work to clean these up. PDF attachments (sometimes) show inline with only the first page showing and nothing listed under Attachments to download (I am used to the first page of PDF documents being shown inline as long as the attachment can be seen for download). The PDF behavior is not constant, but I believe the text file one is (two emails with attachments had this behavior on two different Macs; I opened the mail in a windows box and the attachment was there). > > -- > Barry Wainwright -- M.
