Migrating attachments from old to new computer?

I will be installing Thunderbird on my new computer and want to migrate all of my email and attachments from Thunderbird on old to new computer. I know to transfer Thunderbird Profiles (helpful article on this site) but does that also move attachments? A complication, when I set up Thunderbird initially on old computer, I migrated my Eudora files and my folders are under "Local Folders" and then "Eudora Import". I have never found an "attachment" file in the Thunderbird program files like Eudora had. It almost seems like the attachments are still going to a file under Eudora in my apps. Any help appreciated.
