Oops, good catch. Yes the code I posted will remove ALL non-text attachments if the entire message size is > 10MB, not just as many needed to reduce the message below that size. But what I hope will help rolf is the understanding that the way you wrote MIMEDefang to call filter means he doesn't have to worry about writing his own iteration to handle all the attachments. Our cranky, picky users are OK with this solution, because they get the email and they get the attachments via the links. We did have one irate user call the Helpdesk because his "other attachments were missing". He didn't scroll down beyond the first link. I told my management that to avoid that (put all the links together) would require writing more code than I had done, and they decided that it wasn't worth the effort. I haven't really thought about it until now, so if anyone else wants to comment with suggestions or with sample code to handle this situation with all links together (in one text part replacement, ideally I guess), please do! That would be more elegant than what I've done. Thanks, Matt -- Matthew S.
