Dragging Attachments

In classic Eudora it was possible to drag files onto an email as it was being composed. The directory paths to the attached files would automatically appear in the addresses area, beneath the BCC field.

In Eudora 8, it is possible to achieve the same behavior, though the process is slightly more obscure. If a file is dragged into the addresses box, an attachments box opens up at the right edge of the window. Attachments can be dropped onto the box, or deleted from it.

To customize the display to be more inline with the classic Eudora layout, add the following line to userChrome.css:

#attachments-box { visibility: visible !important; }

In classic Eudora, it was possible to create attachments by dropping files on the body of the email, and even on a mailbox, which would open a compose mail window with the attachment already in place.

In Penelope, it is only possible to drag image files onto a message body. This will create an inline attachment.
