I'm not sure anyone understands what you are talking about. This is an e-mail list, and someone sends an ATTACHMENT maybe once a month. The thousands of messages per month, on this list, are NOT attachments. They're simply e-mail. It is forbidden to send an attachment to an e-mail list but some new people will do it (only once) before they are yelled at. So if it is actual attachments that you are having trouble with, don't bother worrying about it. You shouldn't be getting any. If you are calling the normal e-mail messages "attachments", then your problem is with your own system and there is nothing we can do to help. Change your ISP, your OS, your MAILER, your COMPUTER, whatever it takes to get your system to operate like it should. There are LUGGERS using Macs and AOL. If any of you know what Bob needs, maybe you could help him. Jim
