I agree that the way PowerMail handles attachments is a major inconvenience with attachments and HTML. I had also hoped to find AppleScriptable ways of dealing with the problem but have given up. It's unfortunate that one should have to resort to using another email application. Although I usually receive few attachments and legit HTML email, this is one issue that is irritating enough that it urges me to persist in finding another email application and abandon PowerMail. Unfortunately, all the currently available email clients have quirks I don't like, so deciding which to switch to hasn't been easy else I would have jumped ship already. cheshirekat -- Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca, writer and philosopher * 867 PowerBook G4 * OS X 10.2.6 * 768 MB Ram *
