Hi Merv, I don't use Mail or Eudora myself, so I may be way off the mark, but I wonder if the info: > Content-Disposition: inline; Is the clue. Is he perhaps pasting/inserting the images into the body of the message rather than sending them just as attachments. I know with entourage sometimes I just see images as attachments to messages whereas other times they appear in the body of the email (but also show as attachments) - I've always assumed that the difference was whether the sender inserted or attached the image. Maybe Eudora files straight attachments in the specified Attachments folder but files inserted attachments into the Parts Folder in the Eudora Folder. Should be easy enough to check by getting him to send both types.
Good luck. Neil -- Neil R.
