Yes; try the icon with the magnifying glass. You have a lot of options, including regular expressions.

TB handles attachments exactly the way you tell it to. Most of us store them in the message body, some store them in sperate directoies (Account / Properties / Files & Directories / Attachments). You can also create a filter and extract them to somehwere else, or run your favourite virus scanner whenever a message does have an attachment. TB is not a virus scanner. However, it will not run a virus automatically, you need to actively do it.

TB doesn't *do* anything do attachments. However, if you try to open attachments with certain extensions, or with double extensions, you get a warning; in some cases TB will even refuse to open the attachment. See Options / Properties / Warnings. E> This AM program installation, setup, and subsequent download of my Yahoo E> mail was my first occasion to use this program.

No problem. ask if you have any questions setting up the accounts. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
