I discovered about 4-5 months ago that if you hold down the option key while moving attachments, you copy them and they stay with the message too. This method avoids all the problems of missing attachments and the tendency of PM to hang when you do a search and click on a message with a moved attachment in the find results window. So now I just copy attachments rather than move them. I keep a folder on the upper left hand corner of the desktop as a dropping point for these. Then I move them from this folder to their final destination. I also have a "chord" set on my Kensington 4-button trackball for "hide others" so I can get to this folder quickly.
