The most regular attachments I send are back-ups of a program. The directory info for those back-ups is important and since the protocols for attaching files don't handle directories, I'm archiving it with winrar and e-mail it. I do this in the explorer by selecting the directory and select in the context menu the option 'archive to "whatever.rar"and e-mail', now winrar creates an archive in the %temp% directory and picks TB via MAPI to attach the archive and offer me the option to put some text in the message body. When I press the send button, winrar closes and deletes the temp archive. Now according to you TB should link to a location that wouldn't be valid on the moment of sending, so whenever there were problems with the reception of the I couldn't start tracing the problem, because I'd never know whether my starting message was corrupted or not. Therefore TB has to keep records of outgoing messages and their attachments. I used Winrar in my example, but the same goes for about every program that uses MAPI to send its files. Apart from that you set an option 'Keep attached files "in a separate directory" ' Not 'incoming attached files' but 'al attached files'. Insert a feature request to make TB differ its behavior for incoming and outgoing attachments, but don't complain that it does exactly as it says.

You will have to delete it and re-attach. MIC> Yeah, another complete pain. If I want Outlook behaviour, I'll use Outlook... Here you're not being very realistic either. TB (or whatever program you pick) can't read your mind. So when you say 'attach this file' it does so. It doesn't send the file as it was five minutes ago, nor the file it'll be in five minutes or ten days. No it'll send the file as it is on the moment you give the command, because that's what you said. All those other files are just what is says 'other files'. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
