Frank, see below; I think I misunderstood her question and perhaps you can figure out what she should do:

If you still have them they will probably all be in the same folder. >>>I imported from Claris Email->Mail->Powermail, and while my attachments >>>still are there and linked, PM left them in the Mail Library, did nopt >>>copy and move them into PM files. >> >>Mail stores the attachments inside the mail database; when you import to >>PowerMail, they are extracted and saved in your PowerMail attachment >>folder, which is by default located in the same folder as your PowerMail >>database (but you can change its location in the prefs). Are you sure >>the attachments are not in this folder? >> >>>Oh, and I seem to have an Applescript called "reattach lost attachments". >>>Does anyone know what this does? >> >>If PowerMail have lost the location of an attached file, but the file >>still exists on your disk, you can reattach it to the message, but it is >>a manual operation, message per message. >>PowerMail is supposed to keep track of the attachments even if they have >>been dragged outside of the attachment folder. However if you move your >>database and attached files to a different disk or machine, the >>attachments that have been moved outside of the attachment folder can be >>lost, if they have been renamed or modified. So, apparently she still has the attachments but they have become disconnected from the e-mail. Well, now I don't know what the question is. If the attachments are still linked to their e-mail, is it a problem where they are? If they are moved en-masse from the Library folder to the Power Mail attachments folder? I'm beginning to think I don't know what I'm talking about... Evie, could you restate your question in terms that I can understand? Are the attachments still "attached" to their respective e-mails? -- Barbara Needham
