I only have one thing in there, signature switch.  It's working fine.

Yes, it is automatically doing it for me.  My setting is 1000kb.

Yes, the file I unzip from time to time was an email sent to me in 
Thunderbird.
That files opens fine in OE and from the desktop.

I would assume.  With so many automatic things in this world, I can't 
pin point the exact time.
But the night before I wrote about it, I had opened that file in 
Thunderbird, and all was well.
The next morning it started with the box and it's never opened again since.

I really like iceows too.  Tonia had told me about it a long time ago 
and I've been using it ever since.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
