I believe we have covered that, but over here it is PC-Cillin, Kerio PF, and a lot of stuff I run as services (internat, Office Shortcut Bar, etc). I do nt believe any of those interfers with TB.

I know only of one file that *is* affected, but others report that their files are "corrupt" more often than not. DH> 5. Anybody else knowing a good question? Yeah: Can somebody read the lower headers? I believe there is something wrong, and it would be nice to compare the headers of the "corrupted" messages with the headers of the message forwarded to oneself (which is then suddenly not corrupt any more - presumably because the headers have now been created by TB). One remark: When the jpg attachments appears corrupted, I can save it to disk and then open it with IrfanView. Alas, a few lines of pixels at the bottom of the picture are missing. So the file is indeed corrupt. After forwarding to myself however, the file appears fine in TB's viewer, and also in IrfanView does not show any missing pixels. I doubt that TB has a built-in jpg repair kit, so TB read the attachment wrong (MIME-decoding), that's why wer get the errors. Why did TB decode wrong? The only explanation I have is that it has something to with the headers / lower headers. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
