Re: Eudora vs Thunderbird: was strange eudora problem fixed

The eudora attachment folder behaves very weirdly. I've had professors
who refuse to use eudora because they like to keep their attachment
folders "clean" and w/ IMAP, it will keep attachments even though you've
already deleted the message. Maybe it's a folder compacting issue. I
never really looked into it. But Eudora's behavior of automatically
stripping the attachment from the mail message has always caused me more
headache.
