You are in bad company if you ask for incoming mails to be altered in any way. There is a strong lobby that is against it. I have asked for this possibilty (not with your specialisation, though), as have others. I am glad this comes up again. > Or do you see any solution how it could be done?

The opponents of incoming mail editing say that incoming mails shouldn't be edited, it would be unethical. But there is no doubt that editing (even automatically) is possible, one only has to use the workaround with external files. I wouldn't see an ethical issue if this could be done from within TB. -- Good luck, Thomas. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.07 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
