I also have a Mac, but it makes no difference. I can't view /any/ attachment. Even worse, when I do receive an attachment, I have to drag the message to another folder (also remote IMAP) before the attachement gets the correct size. Usually it's about 128 bytes before I move it and whatever its size is after I move it. MB> But changing to the external viewer does not change the behavior of MB> the non-responding icons.

I'm a new user. .2 was my first (about 5 weeks ago). Bought it a week ago and installed the new beta. MB> So that's all my latest info. What do you think? That it's too hard to figure out how to do it. However, I chose the bat because it uses plaintext /and/ has a graphical user interface. Or else, I'd still be using mutt. No attachments or mime, no virii. Never had that sort of trouble on the Mac. -- Regards, Charles. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
