Well since you asked... there was an option in the menu which allowed deleting attachments on the email which had been terminated due to size restrictions. To save typing the message again I kept that part and deleted the attachments so that I could re-arrange the attachment package. My thought logic was that I was simply deleting the path to the source files, not the files themselves. And why would any sane person imagine that such an option meant that any attachments would be completely purged from the computer? All "GOOD" programs would simply delete the path to the attachments for that email, not the source files themselves, or at least shift them to the Windows Recycle bin. As I said, Eudora doesn't do what Agent does, and I'm sure that most other email clients don't either. > >I use Agent, have done since the very early V1.1 or so, but have >never had that problem.
