  I did not suggest to change the file extension of the _attachment_
for the detached file, but to create a _subdirectory_ in the
message's folder directory with the same base name as the message
file, and to place the detached attachments with their original file
names in there (if needed). 

  Again the example which I have explained before: your message with
the REXX script to clean um the PMMail TEMP directory is stored in
the folder-directory for this mailing list as file "GJYVBK0.MSG". 

  To keep detached attachment, I suggested to create a directory
named "GJYVBK0.ATT". Your REXX script would then have the filename
"GJYVBK0.ATT\CleanTmp.CMD" (relative to the folder's directory). 

  Did this remove the misunderstanding?
