I think I've tried that. I saved all attachments to the same folder
(using the default names, which I assume are the names in the original
email) then through Windows Explorer opened the message.htm file.
Again the graphs did not appear. Each graphics file (all GIF format)
opens individually without errors, but I can't seem to view the entire
original email as intended.

It's about two weeks before the  next of these reports is due. Perhaps
I can get Mum addicted to TB! in that time. Then she can pressure the
sender to use another format (in examining her mailbase I find that 18
months ago these reports were sent as PDF files.

In the past year I've had about one call every two months from my
mother regarding virus problems (she calls me more often than that,
but just because she loves me, not because the computer has problems).
If installing TB! leads to more frequent calls, then from my point of
view it's a downgrade.

As far as I know the most infectious current viruses do little direct
damage to a user's system. They use bandwidth in emailing themselves,
but their usage would never approach my mother's monthly limit. They
affect reputation, but the infected messages I have just deleted from
my mother's message base all came from her five most common
correspondents. If they're sending her viruses, they're not likely to
object to her sending them viruses.
