Hi Listers, Like many of you, I get e mail with multiple attachments. The primitive way I handle these is to do Insert plus A and hit open and repeat this process until I at last find the text of the initial attachment. Surely there is a more efficient way to get to the text and I am hoping for enlightenment from this most helpful list. Many thanks, Mitch 'Just because no one understands you doesn't make you an artist.'
