There is an indicator by the mail message that indicates that there is an attachment. I went to the Eudora Attachment folder and saw that it was a Word "DOC" file. I opened it with "Quick View" which will view it but not run any macros. Since it didn't have any macros, I opened it in Word (Quick View will do this for you directly) and printed it. Thanks for the attachment. I enjoyed it. Jim
