This is sorta kinda a computer recording issue (I need my computer to record - if it screws up, I can't record).
A while ago, I asked on this site if email attachments were deleted automatically when you deleted the email, and I was told that the attachments were in fact deleted. But I've found out that isn't the case with my email program. I using Eudora 3.X (yeah, it's old but I like it - why upgrade an email program?) and I find that even after I delete emails, the attachments still remain (and accumulate) in the Eudora Attachments folder.
The problem is going through the attachments folder and deciding what to delete. The only way I can decide if I want to keep something is to click on it and find out if it's important or not. But therein lies the danger, no?
I recently got nailed by a worm. I'm pretty sure it was opening email attachments that did it.
Okay, so aside from the heads up here, my question is: are you running an email program that automatically deletes attachments when you delete the email? Are you sure? LOL And if so, wanna let me know what program you're using?
