Yes, Outlook express and Outlook do. However, I was curious as I have
used the method to place the mails into the IMAP server for Squirrelmail
to collect and no users have complained of corruption. Yesterday I
placed the mails into the IMAP folders and they were all displaying
perfectly with all attachments intact. I simply forwarded them to my
email account and onto the users concerned. Just in case anyone needs to
do this in future that seems to work a treat.

Got it, thanks Dave, much obliged one and all.
