First step in debugging the problem is to enable display of php errors and set error_reporting to E_ALL. Test your php settings (http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/TestPHPSettings) If you have register_long_arrays option set to off, turn it on or find "$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']" text in tnef.php file and replace it with " $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']" -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------ This is what I get in the begug mode: Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS in /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/attachment_tnef/tnef.php on line 171 Thanks I also want to thank Paul for helping me.
