Attachment Question

[Narpender Bawa]

Scott, Thanks very much for you answer to my second question. But i am 
still looking for an answer to the first where three file attachments (one 
a .pdf, another a .doc and the third a .zip) were sent. The mail scanner 
found problem with the .zip file and it quarantined it but did not deliver 
even the other two attachments (.pdf and .doc files).

Thanks,

Narpender
