Thanks Jim.

I too get the attach window but then nothing happens when I click on the
desired file to be attached.

I don't know what you mean by your "config" but I am unaware of a "Show
Attachment Bar" option.

BTW, I'm running Ximian-1.4.6 and don't know how to "update" Ximian and
moreover see that Novell apparently has now taken Ximian over.

Further advice ?

Cordially,
