I am writing from XP,using outlook express still but sorting out my dell backups,now it has had a new drive the engineer down here came back to retrieve all my saved material, they were all backed up on 1 a western digital external and 2 a seagate external drive, and I am finding what I found in past after my xp desktop failed last October downloading jfw 11, well glad as I am to have all my data going back for several years I am sifting through some thousands, many are duplicated, some even triples, but and this is strange many are called attachments, they are not attachments just emails,but I am wondering if once emails for example have been saved from one format like OE to ms outlook why I get double rations of everything and do you think the fact I used avg then is responsible for the attachment name? Will essentials which I now use do the same? Dorothy
