[Macpartners] Problem with Mac Eudora Mailbox Attachments transfer

Hello:

[ I am posting from an outside non-MIT account because this mailing list

post semi-anonymously. ]

I am having an issue with several older MAC upgrades I have been
performing recently.  When trying to do a Mac Eudora transfer from older
G4 and IMacs to newer machines, I am running the 'transfer wizard'
function within the Eudora 6.1 installer.

It copies into the Eudora Folder the mailboxes correctly, but attachments
are not being handled correctly.  If the attachments folder on the old
system was in a location that is DIFFERENT than 'User:Documents:Eudora
Folder:Attachments', then when attempting to access the attachemnts on the
new system, is not possible.  It seems the location in each of the mail
messages is pointing to a hard location.  In my one example, the users
attachemnts were located on the root level of the old system harddrive (
'Mac HD:(attachment) '.

Does anyone know of a way to work around this problem, short of leaving
all the attachments in exactly the same place as before, and renaming the
new Hard Drive the same name as the old one??

Thank You,

Stefan S - AMPS
