I would not do this! Unless you are sure that the scanner is equipped to handle/clean MIME segments within files, while preserving the rest of the file, you will lose the entire mailbox. What you can do is use a multi-file ASCII text replacing utility to change .exe to .exb or suchlike. Keeping the byte size of the MBX files the same will avoid index corruption. Most of these utilities are written for HTML--do a search on Google and you'll turn some up. -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
