No. IMail has to use BASE64 to decode the attachment, and it saves the file to disk rather than to memory. It will never run attachments.

It's kind of like when you download an .EXE that installs a program, it will often extract files into a temporary directory before running, and then delete them. Just like install programs, every once in a while with IMail you'll end up with extra files lying around.

Ah, I see. Given that the .DOC files were sitting in the spool directory, and two of the .TMP files contained .DOC files, it sounds like the .DOC file is causing the problem.

You can check the W2*.LOG files to see what the last entries were before the crash. That should give you an idea of whose mailbox these came from. Once you know the user whose mailbox the file is in, you could decide how to handle it from there. -Scott
