No, take a look! But you're right, I haven't provided
enough info. I was looking for general ideas, not specifics,
but again, you're right, and I just don't understand enough
about email. Thanks for getting me rightsideup on some
of these issues.

OSX.2/Classic
Eudora Pro 3.0, but by tomorrow I will prolly be using Mail.

I don't know! Probably POP, as that is what it says in my
Earthlink settings.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. But, but - the images d/l on my Desktop are gifs,
which make me think "html mail" not attachments. They don't
go away after I d/c from the internet. They just sit there. Since
I'm not using html mail, I'm not even sure what message they
came in with.

And I apologize for not knowing enough to know what to ask.
I do know how crazy-making the variances in knowledge are,
and experience some of it myself, as I am trying to explain
to my Dad the differences between email d/l to his hard drive
vs. email on the mail server.

Thanks for your advice and tolerance.
