I have my Eudora prefs set to Delete Attachments with Messages because I
receive so much junk and want any attachments to go away with the
messages.
But, of course there are times when I want to keep an attachment but
delete the "cover letter" message that brought it.
I'm quite sure that renaming the attachment file in the Finder, or
opening it and saving it under a new name, is sure to preserve it.
I *think* that just dragging the file from my Downloads folder into a
new folder before deleting the message also does this -- but I'm not
absoutely sure.
And, can that new folder actually be *inside* the Downloads folder where
the attachment was initially delivered?
Anyone know the rules for sure?
