    There is an options under Tools/Options/Attachements which allow a user to
    specify the directory for an attachement.
    
    check
    http://www.eudora.com/download/eudora/windows/5.1/full_elec/Manual51.pdf
    
    page 229 - 230
    
    --8<--[quote]--8<--
    Attachment directory - This specifies what directory will receive incoming
    attachments.
    To specify a folder, single-click the folder name button. A dialog box
    appears prompting
    you to select a folder. The default folder is the Attach sub-folder of your
    Eudora Pro folder.
    --8<--[quote]--8<--
    
    I beleive this option was already in place in 3.x,4.x and 5.x
    
    as well as an option to set the "delete attachement when emptying trash".
    (which might not work, from what you are saying).
    
    My $.02

    Immm...
    
    Eudora Mail .. automatically saves attachments in <drive>:\program
    files\qualcomm\eudora\attachments .. right?
    
    The (very old) version (4.1) that I have sure does that. And even if you
    delete
    the email itself (after opening), or right click on the file and selecting
    delete -
    the file stays.
    
    So, you just need to get the file in there and have the user visit a
    corrupted
    web .. and hey.. presto!
    
    Just my 2c on this,
    Roelof.
