If I send a mail with an attachment, and look at the sent mail in my Out
box, I can see which attachment was sent.

But if I move that mail to the relevant mailbox for the topic that mail
referred to, I can no longer see that - except that in the mailbox list
of mails I can see that this mail had an attachment. But if I open the
mail, there is no Attachments: line listing the attachments.

Is there any way around this?

Not even something in the headers that says (using Eudora 6.1.1 with OS
10.3.9):

X-Attachments: :HD:287316:Foo.doc:

That's at least as much use as the reference on the 'attachments' line
of the sent mail.

You're right - thanks - I should check the Blah Blah. I'll do that when
I get home.

It has been doing this for a couple of years. Very frustrating.

What's worse is if you want to send that message again to someone else,
the attachments are not included in the message.

There is a workaround for not being able to see the attachments in the
message. In the mailbox window, you can see a little icon indicating
that there are attachments. If you select that message, then click on
the icon, it becomes a popup menu containing the names of all the
attachments. If you select one of the files, it will open. The only
drawback is that since Eudora is Carbon, long filenames get "shortened".

Hope this was useful.
