Wayne,
Thanks. Yes, I do see that the dot-mbx file can be edited.
What editor did you use?
I used WordPad, but found that WP
did not save the result properly. I selected Unicode instead of Text.
Eudora needed to do some sort of recovery.
All emails came back with a "?" as the Read/Unread status marker.
Just finished changing them all back to /Read/.
I still have a copy of the original dot-mbx file. Thinking of trying to
use NotePad and save with the /all files/ saveas.
Best,
Duncan

I believe that the only way to fix the red x is to
have the file that Eudora is looking for in the
attachment directory, "attach". It's probably not
possible to edit each email individually to point
to its attachment in different folders.
Sorry but one can edit the .mbx file to the new file location when Eudora
is closed as I just did it again to verify. Now you can NOT do this if the
file is Embedded in an html message unless you send the message to your
web browser & save the message separately. One can also salvage an
accidentally deleted message [you emptied the Trash] by editing the
corresponding .mbx file while Eudora is open but if you close Eudora it'll
be lost forever.
