I haven't kept attachments in a separate directory for a long time. However, from my experimentation, if you delete an attachment from it's corresponding 'Attach' directory, the attachment will seem to be still associated with the message until you select another message and then go back to the original. The attachment pane should no longer be there displaying an attachment. DK> Is it the same with the attachments/messages I sent and archived to DK> another folder? AFAIK, yes.

This is if you bind the attachment upon generation of the message and placement of it in the outbox for sending.

I'm not really following you here so I can't try to reproduce what you say is happening. Be that as it may, it sounds like buggy behaviour to me. I did the following: I configured my editor to auto-save every 20 seconds. I configured an account to place attachments in a separated directory and the bind attachments only while sending mail is not enabled. I then created a new message and attached a file to it. Only one copy of the attachment is saved though at times the file name will change to file1.xxx and back to file.xxx between auto-saves. Still only one copy of the attachment remains when I save the message to the outbox. Upon sending the message to the trash, the attachment remains in the attachment directory. Upon deleting the message from the trash, the attachment is deleted from the attachment folder. I tried this with v1.62r DK> What is "Bind attachments only when sending out mail?" How does that DK> affect the above? You can use this option if you wish the latest version of the file to be attached for delivery with the message. However, without this option, the file is immediately bound to the message and you can alter the original without the altered copy being sent. - -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBPt1Dc/1E1LttcDiXEQJfNACaA4ud+Q0oUbHDo7XCZE2lboI+zXMAnju/ Gr+h+zyWjKylBIAKsDPMt/D1 =nGMT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
