Hi Martin,
Your right! I just noticed some of my attached are not actually accessible. Some of them had a path to c:\temp\ . They were images from a webpage. I was able to open some other attachments I tried. Thanks for the tip. I will make sure I keep important attachments elsewhere. I am still trying to out the other features of TB before turning on the SpamFilter. I want to make sure I setup it up where I err on the side of caution. Better to receive spam than to miss out on an unexpected yet important e-mail! Later. -Ricardo ---------------------------------- Tuesday, June 10, 2003, 9:26:41 AM, you wrote: ---------------------------------- mrc> Hi Ricardo, mrc> Thanks for the pointer to Mailbag Assistant.
