There was a bug in the Max Attachments code which was fixed in 4.47 
(November 2005). You might find this problem has been solved by that fix.

The mailing list is hopefully shortly going to move home, onto a mailman 
setup, so the features available will change at the same time.

Michele ---- How is the mailman setup coming along?

P.S. Please don't set "Reply-To" on mailing list postings, the rest of 
the list may want to see replies to your question too!
