I would like to know which one that is. I'd probably guess it not to be a virus, but maybe a bad encoding type or some format in the email itself that is causing it to screw up. >> What can I do?

Winzip and a fair few other zip utilities read uuencoded files, so you can just play about with it there :) Somebody mentioned this a while ago, just a random bit of knowledge that got stuck in my head ;) >> A virus was found neither by Norton nor PCillin, both with recent >> virus updates. > I don't know about Norton, but PC-Cillin have a "virus doctor" > service.

I'd probably send it to RitLabs before sending it to PC-Cilling because it may be something simple as a bad header, or bad content that makes TB fail a proper read of the email. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA/AwUBPbC5VSuD6BT4/R9zEQJMbgCgrSc33JxO+bmHRJH0kaJzrgRExY8AoLvw Gx6QJPQ5yLcXLOmtR9HHTj9Z =JuSc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
