I just looked at the test conversion I did with Eudora Mail Cleaner a couple of years ago. The Outgoing folder has no attachments. That makes sense, because Eudora grabs the attachment on the fly as it sends the mail; it doesn't store a copy of the attachment anywhere. Incoming messages have paper-clip images in the summary window, but when I look at an individual message, it says "missing attachment." I think that's because EMC expects to find incoming attachments in Attachments Folder in Eudora Folder, but I've long had Eudora set to put them in a folder called Incoming on my desktop so I can easily find them and move them to an appropriate project folder. "Attachments Folder" exists in my Eudora hierarchy. If I move all my attachment files into that folder, is there good reason to believe that EMC will find them the next time it converts my Eudora files? Patty
