Maybe I am wrong, but as I interpret the 'bug report' the problem is a
file with the same name that is in DIFFERENT DIRECTORIES. As in:
DirA
File.Txt
Contents: Info for CustA
DirB
File.Txt
Contents: Info for CustB
DirC
File.Txt
Contents: Info for CustC
And, is the problem not due to PMMail using the:
d:\...\PMMAIL\TEMP\File.Txt
WITHOUT first REFRESHING the file from the appropriate:
d:\DirX\File.Txt
I do not have time to test all this, but it is the way I _interpret_
the problem description. Did I miss something?

I have the option checked, but to be honest, I have NO IDEA what
"...Verify Attachment Decode..."
really means. The Help text does not provide any interpretation. To
me, 'verifications' are usually good. So, I left it as it was. What
have I requested?
