Attachments in Eudora usually end up in the "Attach" folder. This is at 
least the default option in Eudora. Anyway, I would imagine that e-mails 
in Eudora contain a link (or similar) to their attachments, so if the 
structure is maintained, there should be no problems in generating tbird 
e-mail of it all.

I'm not entirely certain, but I *think* I have done this myself on 
another computer (windows, that is)
