Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / October 2005trashing attachments by filter
Is it possible to make a filter to trash some attachments? The obvious method does not seem to work. When I select send attachments to Trash in the filter, they are sent to the default attachment folder after a restart... > Is it possible to make a filter to trash some attachments? > The obvious method does not seem to work. > When I select send attachments to Trash in the filter, they are sent to > the default attachment folder after a restart... It should work; I have used a similar filter in the past. I was filtering attachments to a regular folder (rather than to the Trash) on the hard drive, though, so it wasn't exactly the same. Did you set up a filter where you select to move the attachments to ~/.Trash? If you did and the attachments reappear in the default attachment folder after a restart, a work-around would be to move the attachments to a new folder called "Eudora Trash" located conveniently near the desktop Trash, so you could manually move them to the trash after filtering. Not exactly what you want, of course...

Not exactly what you want, of course... Thanks for your reply. Well this is a workaround but not exactly what I want. I suspect that the problem is more in OSX than Eudora, maybe an authorization one again, but I do not know where to look...
