Pat, Best I can figure, a filter can't see attachments. Maybe someone else knows a way. You can route your attachments to a file of your choice and edit/view them from there. That way, other posts cannot see what attachments you have.

On your filter dialogue box set it up this way: Header: <Any Header> Contains multipart/mixed Uncheck the manual checkmark so you can filter messages to their proper folders after you have looked them over. Also move the filter to the top of the list. This works because there is a header type named Content-type The Content-type for a message with an attachment is multipart/mixed. If you look at full headers on a message with an attachment, you will see a line similar to the following: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="============_-1228877411==_============" Thanks for asking the question. I never thought of doing that. I sometimes get a couple of hundred emails. I would like to find out where the attachments go, plus it will help isolate the viruses.

I'm giving Gene's solution a try. Should work <G> Regards, Pat Asher
