I cannot imagine any reason why TB would need to open attachments for writing, so I was very confused. I was able to get around the *BUG* by removing the read-only flag, attaching the file, sending the message and restoring the read-only flag. I should not need to do this. This is a potentially very BAD BUG. -- Steven Valliere | tb 11.4.1 | mailto:[email protected] -- "If you didn't write it down, then it didn't happen." -Larry Zana ------------00B1E70DF2004817C Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html><head> <style type="text/css" data-title="rt_noDelete"> blockquote.rt { margin: 0 0 15px; border-left: 4px solid #81c784; padding: 0 0 0 12px; display: block; } p { margin: 0 0 0 0 } .email-signature {font-family:"Calibri"; font-size: 9pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } </style></head><body><p class="norm"></p><p class="norm" style="font-size:12pt;">Today I discovered that TheBat! would not allow me to attach a file marked as Read-Only in the Windows file system!
