JR, you apparently didn't notice that I was talking about a problem
that occurred when I ran *Eudora Mailbox Cleaner*, a completely separate 
program from Eudora that was created by a Eudora user some years ago, not 
by Qualcomm.  Eudora knows exactly where those attachments are and displays 
them just fine. 

You also clipped the rest of my message where I explained why that
probably happened. I don't think EMC was at fault, either, because 
I use a *nonstandard* folder for incoming attachments. That's why I 
asked whether anyone had done the conversion with the proper folder 
structure and found that to work okay. I'm guessing that if I move 
the attachments where Eudora Mailbox Cleaner expects to find them, 
all will be well.

I'm not going to claim that Eudora is perfect, but there's no reason
to criticize it in this situation.
