I tried a few things: moving the .MSG files does not seem to have affected my ability to read the bodies of recent messages that I didn't want to lose. GOOD I changed the 'Keep attachments' setting to 'in message bodies' and send myself a message from my RoadRunner account using their web mail. No .MSG file appeared. I changed the 'Keep attachments' setting back to 'in a separate directory' and sent myself another message from my RoadRunner account. Still no .MSG file. Apparently, these must be some sort of unnamed attachment or something (since TB names them all using an 8 digit sequential number.MSG) that is coming in with some (or most?) of the SPAM I am receiving. If the TB developers are reading this, it sure would be nice if I could define my own list of attachment types to save or NOT save. Better yet, have both options and allow the user to choose which way to go: list the only extension types to be saved OR save all EXCEPT the listed extension types. Heck, maybe even a file type table allowing different extensions to be saved (or not) to different folders! I know, I'm probably asking too much, but what the heck, the worst they can do is nothing, right? <smile> Thanks for the ideas. I guess I'll just manually delete all the stupid .MSG as often as I notice them. -- Steve Vallière | tb3.82.05 | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
