We'd need to tie into the anti-virus <snip> All these assume that the solution will involve TB deciding what will and what will not be displayed. I think the nice thing about the way TB is now is that I can view the message without risk first, then double-click the attachment afterward. I don't want TB deciding what I can't see anymore than I want OE deciding that I see everything. What about a message pane toggle that is off by default for every message. Once the user confirms that they want to take the risk, the click the toggle. They could also click OK on a warning alert. The resulting message opens in a tab like the TXT, HTML tabs there are now. Moving to another message toggles back to default. A registry hack or ini file edit could exist for those wanting the toggle to default to ON. And they could disable the warning. Usually, the html messages that I need or want are those I have received many times before. Most of them are from me actually. If one were to spoof one of these messages, I would know while viewing it in the default secure mode. -- Best regards, James Senick The Bat! v.3.61.10 Echo (Beta) Windows XP ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.13 (Echo) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
