TB *should* just be able to use the pointer, so on the surface it doesn't seem to make sense that the attachment wouldn't get deleted, but it should be filed as a bug if you can verify it happening. One caveat that I should point out: if you have an account that is keeping attachments inline and you then switch it to storing them externally, it only takes effect from that point on. In other words, any previously received messages with attachments still have them inline. This hasn't caused any problems as far as I can tell, but it's annoying not to be able to move the existing ones out of the database. DG> You make an interesting point about corrupted message bases.

It's pretty rare, but I had to do some serious surgery to correct it when it happened. I only have one that I haven't been able to repair so far - one message has a bad CRC that stays bad no matter how many times I fix it. I'm still working on that one. It's a minor problem since the rest of that database works fine. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/4 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
