I suspect this is going to be the best solution. HD space isn't the problem; just general clutter and directory overload, and endless cleaning up of folders is the primary annoyance.

I don't think that directory overload will become much of a problem. Eudora is splendidly robust, certainly up to 10.5.8 and I'm told it's fine in 10.6 as well. I'd be inclined to leave it and not even think about the crud, which Eudora will take in its stride. -- Peter

"Embedded" = "Inline in message text". - But they are not always attached as separate files. For example I get the Filemaker newsletters with lot of images and more inline/embedded, - none of these images are shown in the attachment window in neither SeaMonkey nor Thunderbird, since they are "embedded only" and written in HTML formatted messages using embedded images.

Sounds like the stupid "stationery" my youngest sister uses 8-) -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

You may have answered a question I've had for ages: I have a couple moderately computer-cluless friends who send me multiply-forwarded image-heavy more-or-less funny things that have embedded images in the messages trailed by a second copy of all the images with no message. It sounds as if someone along the line is doing something like this. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
