Gary:

The problem is that if you send a "clean" email with the attachment the
rules catch the attachments and delete it.  IF you FORWARD and email with an
attachement the same rules do not catch it.  Even if I search the header and
body of the email.

I just ran a test where I sent a new email to my test list with a doc
attach.  It didn't get through.  So I sent myself an email with the same doc
attach, then forwarded it to my test list.  It got through.  Very puzzling.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Anthony
