Hi Mario

I can only tell you what to do with Eudora versions 5.2 and 6. I think 
it will work the same for later Eudora versions.

In my Eudora Inbox, the Attachment icon (if there is one for a message) 
appears at the very left of the line for that particular message.   (My 
Eudora Inbox shows information about messages grouped in columns: the 
column on the left holds "Attachment" icons, then the "Who" column 
shows who the messages are from, then there is a "Date" column, then a 
"Size in KB" column, and finally on the far right, there is a "Subject" 
column. I believe you can customize your Inbox to display just the 
columns you want or to rearrange their positions. In ten years of using 
Eudora, I haven't changed the default arrangement in my inboxes.)

To download the full attachment (or to get it from Eudora's cache), 
right click (anywhere) on the Inbox line for the message with the 
attachment. A small drop-down menu appears. Look for "Fetch". In my 
drop-down window, I have to first highlight "Change server Status" to 
show "Fetch". (Put the cursor on "Change server status" and you will 
see more choices, like "Leave", "Fetch", "Delete", "Fetch then delete".)

If this doesn't work, you can set Eudora to download all attachments. 
Go to "Tools" (in the menu bar at the top of the Eudora window) and 
choose "Options" (at the bottom of the drop-down menu). In the left 
side of the window that appears, choose "Incoming Mail". Now remove the 
check mark from "Skip messages over [ ] K in size". (The default size 
is 40K. You can change this size or just remove the check mark to allow 
all attachments.)

Notes: I do not use the preview window, so look for the attachment icon 
in the regular Inbox. Also, Eudora may have downloaded your attachment 
to memory (cache) and deleted it from the server. If you have since 
closed Eudora, the attachment may have been deleted from cache and lost 
forever. Finally, the email servers of some Internet Providers will not 
accept attachments as large as your 8 MB attachment.
