Hi,

I am going to respond very quickly as I am about to fall out of my chair 
and fall asleep :-) .

But why would you need to type in your password for each account? TB 
stores the password for each account and doesn't require you to type in 
it each time.

The other thing - and here I have cut out a lot of what you wrote - is: 
have you looked in TB at-

Edit>Preferences>Attachments

and in the Advice column you, by clicking on the little pointing down 
triangle, select to Delete attachments of particular types -eg, pdf, or 
jpeg and so on?

Off to bed, sorry for the "quickie" reply :-) .
