Yes, that is exactly what happened and also probably what was happening before which caused my attachment folder to grow to a point where it was eating up hard drive space on my computer and creating performance problems with TheBat. > However, I do agree with you that leaving the attachment in the message > file is the best way to avoid the problem. I don't think that would be a good fit for my needs -- it would make it a lot harder for me to locate and find documents over time. > It might also work to uncheck > the "delete attachment when message is deleted from trash" box in the > account preferences, I'll try that -- I was thinking that with the box unchecked the attachment would not be deleted at all for deleted messages. But if instead that meant that the attachment was deleted immediately when the message was deleted, that would be fine with me. -Abigail Running TheBat 5.0.20.1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
