Introduction
PocoMail is a fast, small, and elegant mail program. One of it's great features is that it is possible to
save e-mail attachments to a seperate directory, instead of keeping them encoded in the e-mail. Saving the attachments
to a seperate directory makes them easily accessible to virus-scanners and search programs. Unfortunately, sometimes
attachments are not erased when the accompanying e-mail is deleted, thus cluttering the attachtments-folder.
PocoAttachmentCleaner
PocoAttachmentCleaner (PAC) is a small tool that cleans up the attachments-folder by moving or deleting all
attachments that are not referred to by an e-mail message. These orphaned attachments can be deleted or moved to a
directory of the user's choice.

System Requirements
PocoAttachmentCleaner requires a Windows operating system capable of running .Net Framework 2.0, and an installation of .Net Framework 2.0 or later. The .Net Framework 2.0 is incorporated in service pack 2 for Microsoft Windows XP and in Microsoft Windows Vista. PocoMail is not required, but this program seems pretty useless without it.
