I have followed the advice on the Eudora Tech. support site on how to
move Eudora data from PC to Mac. For some reason, the use of (ASCII-mode) FTP
didn't work; Eudora on the Mac would report an invalid mailbox format (or
words to that effect) for those mailboxes transferred via FTP. We ended up
copying the mailboxes and other personal data via SMB and using TextWrangler
to fix the line endings. This was much more successful.

After all was said and done, there's one outstanding issue. Is there
any way to re-establish the connections between the messages and attachments?
For any attachment, it's rather annoying to track it down by noting the file
name cited in the corresponding message and then locate it from the Finder.

Thanks,
Mike

The only way I've every found to do this was to push the mail (with
attachment) back up to the mail server via IMAP on the Mac side and
then pull it back down on the Windows side.

Very time consuming -- especially if you have a lot of mailboxes, but
it works.
