They are picked from the physical location on disk and encoded into the message when you send the message (depending on the status of the Bind Attachments... checkbox in the account properties). However, I'm not entirely sure about it and I can verify this because I configured TB to keep attachments in the message body. Only attachments that you RECEIVED are in the attachments folder (if you selected to not keep them in the message body, that is). If you received an attachment with the same name more than once (like picture.jpg) you'll find multiple (numbered) versions of the file in your attachments directory. So chances are that what you're seeing are attachments that you received. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. -- G.
