Removing attachments but delivering the message

[Fabio Viero]

Sure that helps...i´ll be sending my MailScanner.conf ASAP

In the meantime could you please direct me to some sort of tutorial about
writing Custom Functions? And by the way, i would by your book but i don´t
have an international credit card. I tried to look for it at some of the
best bookstores here in Brazil but couldn´t find your book in any of these
:(

Thanks in advance Julian
