(take any MW> signed message from me in TBBETA) Oh, I understand your question about "image" now. Yes, I see Part.txt in your signed message in tbbeta. And, for example, I see: "Wrenfamilygroup.jpg 69,102 bytes" in the button for one of the attachments--the same as I see in a "mouseover" of the attachment icon. Your Clibrd1.gif example confused me.

Please. It might be worth a try. A reference to that was the only thing I found in the tbudl archives--it was from an exchange in 2000, when someone had blocked TB! from opening attachments and wanted to undo it and forgotten how. <snip> MW> I chose .gif simply because I could see one in my message list.
