We have not been in touch for a long time, but suddenly I have a problem. Up to yesterday all my attachments were always listed nicely alphabetically. Suddenly I find today that the list is no longer alphabetical. How can I restore this?

Many thanks for your advice.

Pieter later on sent another email explaining which email client and version of Windows are in question. Windows XP with Eudora are the platform and client in question. Now for the question itself, how does Pieter fix this issue of missing attachments? After a lot of research, I simply cannot recreate the problem to a level sufficient to figuring out what happened in this instance. This is where I need your help.

Those of you with experience using Eudora are being asked to hit the comments section with solutions you might have. Today, this is a case of me asking you for help, because I am at a loss here.

Do you have an IT-related question? Perhaps you are just burnt out on writing on the walls with crayons? Whatever the comments may be, drop me a line, and you too can “Just Ask Matt!”

Hello,

I believe one can sort message attachments in Qualcomm’s Eudora email client by opening the folder containing the messages you wish to see attachments for and then right-clicking on the attachment button at the top of the list view (it is a picture of an envelope with a document overlaid in the lower-right corner, next to the buttons labeled Who, Date and Subject). A popup context menu will appear with several optionst, two of which are Sort by Attachment Ascending and Sort by Attachment Descending.. Selecting either of these should produce the desired sorting.

Regards,

To rearrange attachments in alphabetical order in Eudora. Go to the
Qualcom/Eudora/attach folder, right click on any empty space in that window and a menu will appear, click on and
off you go. This is the same method for any widows folder.
