Anything else wouldn't be acceptable. Roelof, that's a terrific explanation, but the bottom line is that it's a really bizarre behaviour for an email client to have. Keeping a list of stamps and making a copy of them is completely different. Attachments should stay exactly where they were before being attached - ie, where I put them to begin with. The email should note which attachments were sent, but no more. -- cheers, Mic (reply address works) The Coors beer slogan used in the USA "Get loose with Coors," became, "Get the runs with Coors" upon translation into Spanish.
