This would usually only happen if these .msg files are attachments to messages you received. If you are sure you didn't receive MIME-attached messages this would be weird. Do you receive a lot of "look at this" forwards? SPV> 2. How do I stop TB from doing this silly thing? Account / Properties / Options / Keep attachments in Message Body.

The message body is stored in the .tbb file, but it may be an empty message, if my theory about those being forwards is correct.

You seem to be storing the attachments in the Attachments directory, so those will be lost if you delete the files. SPV> Please help, a directory with many thousands of files in SPV> it is nearly unusable in Windows XP (too [EMAIL PROTECTED]&$ SLOW!). Try moving these .msg files (all of them) to a temporary directory you create for this purpose, while TB is closed. Then reopen TB and see whether you have problems reading the message bodies. -- Cheers, Thomas. Rechnen Sie mit robotron!
