That rings a bell. I never liked that Eudora removed attachments and made other modifications to messages in its database. Apple Mail attachments are kept as part of the original message which is preserved in its entirety. Wherever the message goes, so do the attachments. So even messages that are years old still have their attachments. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
