Yes: the file name showed in my mail client and identified it.

That sounds believable - and reassuring.  Is it theme related?  I'm 
using MythCenter-wide at 1024 * 576 instead of the expected 1280 * 720.

Thanks for the quick response.  I suppose I'm puzzled by the fact that 
the difference in the rule triggered the changes, but no matter.  And I 
usually try to avoid using cards 9 and 10 for 'important' recordings 
anyway;  Project-X complains more about faulty packets in them.
