I would do some testing before trusting it, though. I have seen ISPs with non-standard mailserver configurations that overrode user preferences in unexpected ways -- like *always* deleting a message after it's downloaded, no matter which settings the mail client uses. They only work correctly for the least-denominator crowd. If the ISP equates "getting the header" with "downloading the message," you may end up losing the attachments. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
