Ah thanks for the clear explanation. I'd never thought this had to do with list digest policy. Our system wide scrub_nodigest is False, default value from installation, and my test list is digestable, like most lists on our systems, hence the two copies of same attachment. If I make mylist "nodigestable", then only one copy of attachement is saved. Xueshan -- > -- ------------------------------ Xueshan Feng (aka.
