Thanks for the attempt at help. This didn't work. Saving it to folder
does not allow it to be edited and it is saved as a txt msg so a picture
is encrypted. Any other suggestions. I use Juno, Windows XP.

How do I eliminate the attachments that come with an email when there are
multiple attachments to open to get to the main attachment? The
intermediate attachments cannot be deleted. If I try to save the file to
edit it, the file is saved as a text file so pictures are encrypted and
cannot be properly viewed. Thanks for your always enlightening help.

Hi Laurel,

Multiple e-mail attachments are a pain. Unfortunately, rather than
forward
an original they received as an attachment, most people forward the one
they
got with all the attachments... adding yet another attachment as they
forward it. You didn't mention your e-mail client so this is how I handle
those with Outlook Express (OE), other e-mail programs should be similar.

Open the first attachment, and each succeeding attachment, until you
reach
the original. Next, with the original still open, go to File on it's menu
and click "Move To Folder...". A "Move" window will appear with your OE
folders shown. Select a folder to move it to (I usually select the same
folder) and click "OK". Close the other open forwards.

Unless you want to reply to a specific forward because of something they
added along the way, you can delete all the others and you have the
original
all by itself to do with as you please. Any attachments to the original
can
be saved as you normally save them.

If you are only interested in the attachments, they can be saved when you
open the e-mail that has them (original) with a right click option on the
attachment. You can also "save as", reply to, or forward, any of the
opened
messages. This would eliminate the "move" step unless you want it in a
folder for whatever reason.
