Thus avoiding you to have a GB sized database should you receive a lot of (big) attachments. Eudora used to work that way as well a 100 years ago when I used it, and perhaps it still does. When I left Eudora for another client, I couldn't even dream of another way to handle attachments, which meant I soon went into deep trouble with an impossibly big database. Then I found and migrated to PowerMail. As far as I know, PowerMail and Eudora (?) are the only clients handling attachments this way, so beware if this is an issue for you as well -- then I'd say PowerMail is your only choice if you don't want to stick with Eudora. I take it you have read about PowerMail on its web site, and tried out the trial version, so I will not mention the obvious. One other thing worth mentioning though, is this list: I've never seen such active a list. My "PowerMail Discuss" folder have 2936 messages sent over the past 9 months! People -- including quite a few power users -- are really helping each other out here, in a much faster and more thorough way than any tech support I've been in contact with regarding other software. It's worth a great deal to me. /Max G
