Re: Delete Message = Delete Attachments?
Thanks Zach. It's not quite what I'm after but should work most of the time. Sometimes I need to rename the attachment. I guess I could just rename the original after making the alias but you are correct -- it's a kludge.

Hi Andy, You can use an alias to the file in the attachment folder to do this. It's a bit of a clunky workaround but it does work. Simply move your attachment out of the download folder and then move an alias to the attachment back into the download folder (make sure the alias has the exact name of the original). Then PM will be able to follow the original attachment wherever it may travel. Hope this helps...

No, sorry Jérôme - PowerMail Engineering - "PowerMail's mail filter implementation is fantastic and very powerful, applicable to mail both sent and received (user specified of course).

Re: Delete Message = Delete Attachments?
Jerome, It there some way to re-attach attachments to received messages? This is sometimes useful if I want to rename the file or if I just want to reorganize it outside of my attachments folder. -- Andy Fragen TiBook 400/384 RAM - OS X 10.3.2 - PowerMail v4.2.1 PowerMail AppleScript Archives: http://homepage.mac.com/wayneb/powermail.html On Wed, Feb 25, 2004, PowerMail Engineering said: > >Stephane Terreaux wrote: > >>On my system, the attachments are not deleted when I delete a message. > >Attachments in received messages are moved to the Finder trash when the >message is deleted in PowerMail (ie, when the mail trash is emptied).

Attachments in received messages are moved to the Finder trash when the message is deleted in PowerMail (ie, when the mail trash is emptied). If you move a message to the mail trash but don't empty it, the attachments are untouched. If you have moved the attachments manually outside of the attachments folder, they are never deleted by PowerMail.

Unless you first move the attachment(s) to a different folder. I'm really surprised with this answer. Is it a setup in the Preferences of the program ? On my system, the attachments are not deleted when I delete a message. As I got a lot of SPAM (with sometimes silly or infected attachments) on one of my acounts, I have made a script to remove message+attachments : tell application "PowerMail" set theMessages to current messages repeat with msg in theMessages set lesPJ to attachments of msg repeat with laPJ in lesPJ delete laPJ end repeat delete msg end repeat end tell I don't even know if its optimised but it works. ... but in fact I would prefer the attachments to be deleted automatically !
