Thanks!


Heh! I was starting to think that Eva was using Netscape for an email client. I've discovered that on my iMac G5 running OS 10.3.9, if I drag and drop an email attachment from the attachments window in Netscape to someplace, it actually puts the attachment into the directory ABOVE where I dropped it!

In other words, if I drag it to the desktop, it actually puts it into my home directory. You can imagine how many files disappeared into my home directory before I found them :-)

So I have an empty folder on my desktop. When I drag an attachment to the folder, it puts it on my desktop instead. Screwy, but it works
