[snip] Thanks, I like the general idea. I'm just slightly troubled by the choice of 100. This number (I think) only has to exceed the number of message attachments that a message might have. (In fact, it might actually be the number of attached mbox files on a single message - I haven't thought this through in detail again.) So for most situations, even 100 is probably much too high. However, there are probably users with the pathological situation of a message with many, many attachments where even 100 is insufficient. I'm not sure of the best way forward - perhaps a setting in the .mairixrc file or something like that... Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
