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?
