Chris, CB> I expected to be able to tell TheBat! how to check for viruses by CB> pointing it to the right executable and adding any necessary CB> parameters. I was surprised to see that TheBat! asks for special CB> plugins. I agree, I think the plug-in approach is rather bizarre in some respects, but makes sense in others, regardless, my email client of choice - Vet - doesn't have a plug in, and i suspect, never will. A work around that works reasonable well, is to make use of the filters. If you receive an email with an attachment, use a filter to extract the file(s) to a specific directory, and within the same filter run a virus scan on that directory. I use a batch file to run the virus scanner, and to delete the files after the scan. While this way isn't perfect, it works acceptably for me. hope this helps. -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
