Perhaps I need to revise my question slightly. What I want if for them to recive an email, whith an email in it. These .gz files are zipped text files that are the full header vesion of an email. Any Ideas on how to do what Dbmail is doing where when I recive the mail with the mail inside the extension of the message seems to change to that of the program I am using.
