We were trying to get adequate diagnostics for an explanation
or better workarounds than Todd had already found.

AFAIK Todd didn't take up my offer to either E-mail or post
one of the problem .mht files as an attachment.

BTW do Todd's workarounds work for you too?
E.g. rename .mht to .eml and open it in OE
or rename it to .uue and opening it in WinZip?

BTW thanks for starting your own thread.
It will avoid confusion if we discover that your symptoms,
configuration, or other details are different from Todd's.
