Hi Eugenia, or ji ji , or is it Gigi, When you have a message open that has an attachment, you can go into the mail file menu, vo m, arrow right to the file menu, and then arrow down to save attachments. You will get a new dialog there, where you can choose the location to save to. Once you hit the save button in this dialog, the attachments will be saved there. There is an alternative way of doing this, and it gives you a bit more information. When doing it via the file menu as I just described, it's hard to see what the names of the attachments actually are. At least, I haven't found out how to know them. But if you read the message, and you are in the message content table, you interact, and you then find the message header, and to the right, the message body. Both items are intractable, as you may know. If you interact with the header, then if a message has attachments, you will find a pop up button there. If you hit it, you can see each filename attached to the message you are reading, and on top of that, there is also a save all button. But doing it this way, will let you preview the attached file names, before you actually save them, so that you later know what to hunt for in finder. I hope this is clear. If not just shout here. Paul.
