Where does Kmail store attachments that come with mail? KDE 2, Kmail 2.1 and
RH 7.1, if it matters.

I discovered when using Eudora under W9x that much spam includes attachments,
as of course do viruses. I used to clear these out every day. But I looked
everywhere I can thank of in my ~/Mail and elsewhere in my home directory and
don't see anything.

TIA

I think the are not saved separately, but as part of the email they
belong to.
So if you deleted the mail, it deletes the attachment too.

Sounds reasonable. My trash folder is empty so I'll have to send myself
an email with an attachment and see. Thanks for the idea.
