The following is only of partial help; but to help me in viewing my attachments folder and deleting ones I don't want, such as "line.gif" I use Graphic Converter to browse the folder attachments. If at all possible, Graphic Converter will make a preview of each file, so it enables me to at least delete the graphics files I don't want and to identify the .vcf files. Others of course it doesn't touch, that is why it is only a partial help. I notice that Graphic Converter is now coming on at least new PowerBooks. I paid for mine eventually but not until I'd used it for a year. -- Barbara Needham
