Like Emailer, GyazMail Eudora, & PowerMail keep the attachments separate from the email database. Apple Mail, Entourage, Outlook, & FireBird, all keep the attachment in the email db, which I personally consider a big problem.
Note that many email clients crap out if you have a total of 2 gigs (or 4gigs) of mail including attachments. Either per db, or per folder. For some people that is only 5 months of email! All the more reason to keep the attachments separate.

No more purging the Downloads folder :-) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
