Then it might as well say just "file1.pdf" so I could open it, read it and then rename it myself to something more appropriate. > I am sharing an idea with you to make TB! a better product. And I agree with and second your idea. As others have said above the behaviour of Thunderbird is a useful one to mimic replacing illegal filename characters with _ or - as appropriate but I think which to use should be a choice. I am surprised though that some software produces attachments with a combination of filenames that Windows can't recognise (i.e. / # and so on). -- Best regards, Mark mailto:[email protected] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.12.3 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
