So now I need to find the path to that folder.

Perhaps something in a downloaded attachment created in a different
operating system from Windows, namely, Apple Macintosh. That is the
one thing that stays constant--in everything I've tried.

Ah! Bright idea. <hehe> I shall delete those 6 attachments that came
from the Macintosh machine.

I thank you very much. I'll report back what I find. 1) Whether I can
find the path to the %TEMP%\bat\ folder. And 2) whether a simple deletion
of the attachments in the 6 messages from the Macintosh machine
repairs the break in the other attachments.
