The local copy of the attachment may be lost. However, if it is an IMAP account, the attachment remains with the original message on the server. If you can log onto the mail server directly (for example, if it has a web interface) and move the message back to the Inbox on the server, the message and its attachment(s) should be downloaded again to the Entourage Inbox. I suspect a similar strategy could be used to recover attachments of messages from a POP account if the "Leave a copy of each message on the server" option is selected for the account. Although, I don't have direct experience to confirm it, the comment by "neier" on this macosxhints page suggests a similar strategy can be used: <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040823220148659> -Jeffrey Berman -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
