Ah, now I understand what you're saying. The attachments are still very much
attached to the message, that's just where Eudora puts them until you can
get around to doing what you will with them. You can't have a similar option
in Outlook Express, unfortunately. OE uses what's called a PST file. Which
means while in OE they look like actual folders, all of your email, contacts
etc is stored in one rather sizeable file on your computer. When you open or
save an attachment, Outlook Express temporarily pulls it out of that file to
be used. There's not an option there to automaticly remove attachments from
messages and store them in a different folder, unfortunately.

James, My friend has Eudora and all her attachments go to the attachment
folder.

You can't, simply put. The only way to do it is to manually save the
attachment to your music folder. There's no way for Outlook Express, or to
my knowledge any other mail client, to just automatically detatch anything
from a message.

Subject: attachment folder
I have a lot of music that is saved in my music folder. The problem is all
these pieces are still attachments and each time I want to hear it I have to
open the attachment. I was told by the user of another screen reader that I
could create an attachment folder where each attachment will go into the
folder and each song will become detached from the message.
I am using jaws 7.1 and my email client is outlook express.
1. How do I create an attachment folder?
2.
How do I store the folder so that attachments can be put in there manually?
I.e. I get the music in my in box. If I want to save it I can do something
to open the attachment folder and put my message with the attachment that
just becomes a detached song or message in it.
I need to know how to create the folder and all the instructions after the
folder is created.
Thanks, Judith
