Yep - got that thanks.  I guess it points out that it's the little things that 
get you.   All the examples of rulesets and all the comments in the 
MailScanner.conf file and the relevant pages from the MailScanner book that 
I've checked never mention a file type.  Should have worked this out for 
myself I guess.  Must be a bad braincell day!

thanks again
