Eudora OSE continues the distinguished tradition of offering advanced options and controls for the handling of message attachments. There is, however, a substantial difference in the way that Eudora OSE handles message attachments, in contrast to its classic predecessor. While classic Eudora placed its attachments directly in the file system (where the could be directly accessed, copied, or moved), OSE stores its attachments inside of the mail file itself. (See the section on ''Removing Attachments'' below for further details.) | |||

As a side note, on Windows, using the file selector automatically runs the chosen files through the system antivirus software as a background process, which depending on the speed of your system can equate to a rather stiff performance hit during which time Eudora OSE is unresponsive. This is bypassed when dropping directly into the attachment box. | |||
