That begs the question: Is there a way to get the actual source as it was received? Or even anything similar (with attachments, etc.)? Or does the message have to be 'rebuilt' in order to include attachments and encoding? Another way to answer the above question: What does PowerMail do when I 'redirect' an email that I've received? Does it recreate the email and reencode the attachment? Or does it send the original email (maybe saved somewhere we have not yet discussed)? Carl
