You should look at the Houthakker scripts:
Particularly this one:
complexpoint.macmate.me/Site … think.html
I experienced no problems when I had DT index the folder that Bookends used to keep attachments. Somehow I don’t think it is very likely that one would “accidentally” move the folder! And you will find you will get problems if you don’t let Sente control where attachments are kept – it won’t like it. It is far better to let Sente look after attachments, and just let DT have read access to them (or use the script mentioned above).
And have a look at the Sente forums – some very useful scripts there, too (see Dana Leighton’s efforts in particular).
Cheers, Martin.
