What do you mean? Do _incoming_ attachments ever appear on your desktop?

That looks more like a "link" in HTML, rather than a file path.
Do you find that string in your mailbox file?

Who sends you attachments with names like IMG_0527.jpg ?

Try turning off "use Microsoft's viewer"

Try creating a direct shortcut to your attachments folder on your desktop,
so that you can immediately open that folder at any time.

That part's easy- almost any digital camera will
create names like this - generic suffix with photos
numbered sequentially.

Clearly sender emailed photo from digital camera.

Doh... Actual file path is

C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\Eudora\attach\IMG_0527.jpg

I still have to install version 7, and would rather it be a clean
separate install. I'll copy data over as needed. Can't recall but does
the installer give the option for a separate data folder?

Thanks,
