I have followed the thread with interest and everything spoken about
makes sense, but I am unclear as to exactly how to find these
quarantined attachments in the first place. I have 12 that ZA has
quarantined and I am curious to see just what I have been protected from!
Thanks and Best Regards,
Arfer.

If you double click on them, you will get a warning from ZA with an
option to open them with NotePad or similar.
That way you 'may' be able to see what was in them.
If you go down the list that was in the other post, you can see what
the original extension was.
If you are talking just about the ZA firewall, it doesn't check to see
if the contents are harmful or not.
It just changes certain extensions (around 30+) to one of its own so
that it can not be opened up by mistake.
ZA warns you twice if you try to open it.
It doesn't really 'quarantine' (meaning that it puts them in a special
folder or place) them, it just changes the .ext.
If you missed the correlation , here it is:

ZA Mailsafe extensions:

z0=js
z1=vb
zl0=ade
zl1=adp
zl2=bas
zl3=bat
zl4=chm
zl5=cmd
zl6=com
zl7=cpl
zl8=crt
zl9=exe
zla=hlp
zlb=hta
zlc=inf
zld=ins
zle=isp
zlf=jse
zlg=lnk
zlh=mdb
zli=mde
zlj=msc
zlk=msi
zll=msp
zlm=mst
zln=pcd
zlo=pif
zlp=reg
zlq=scr
zlr=sct
zls=shs
zlt=url
zlu=vbe
zlv=vbs
zlw=wsc
zlx=wsf
zly=wsh
zlz=asx
zm0=dbx
zm1=mda
zm2=mdz
zm3=nch

I *think* I'm finally figuring this out. Users of Mozilla and T-Bird
usually set their software to compress files as well as delete
automatically on close. If you compress at a low threshold, this erases
everything in the Inbox daily or even more often. This would affect
those of us who turn our computers off the most.

ZA on the other hand keeps a running tally of quarantined mails.

That's probably it. ZA does keep a tally on the number of files it
changed the extension of, but it does not itself save those files.
You mail program has that control.
