Netscape seems to d/l the images twice here too, extremely annoying, I thought
it was something to do with the way I upgraded it.

I now read the binaries groups with a text based browser, I can have the 
attachments open in a seperate window at the press of a button (or two).

Off topic, - have you discovered ee *.jpg yet, it opens all the jpgs of the 
current dir as thumbnails, and the first image in a window the size of the 
image, you can navigate (the directory)  on the image toolbar or by clicking
on the thumbnails, very useful for camparing images like those door knobs 
the other day.
