Here's a challenge for those that are so inclined. I would find this useful, and I think others might as well. Write a script to do the following:
1. Go through all messages. For any message with an attachment in the Attachments folder 2. Put the attachment in a subfolder under Attachments that has the same structure as the Mail folder/subfolder that the message is in. In other words, if I have a message in Folder/Subfolder, then the related attachment would go in ~/Mail/Powermail Files/Attachments/Folder/Subfolder If the attachment has already been moved out of Attachments, the script should do nothing. Subsequent variation is: 3. A script that would do it for the selected messages only. Ron P.S. If anybody has such a thing, I would appreciate getting a copy.
