I think the issue here is not so much the scrubbing of the application/msword part, but the skipping entirely of the multipart/alternative part, thus keeping the attachment, albeit scrubbed, but dropping the message body entirely. This is basically a deficiency in pipermail which really doesn't do well with MIME messages. I think one way to avoid this is to turn on content filtering. If you dont want to actually filter any content, you can leave both filter_mime_types and pass_mime_types empty and nothing will be removed except that all multipart/alternative parts will be replaced by the first alternative only. I think this will avoid the disappearance of the message body in this case. Of course, the message body you see will be just the text/plain (unformatted) alternative and not the text/html (formatted) alternative even for non-digest recipients, but at least there will be message body text in the digest and archive. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
