I want to free myself from the time consuming cut/paste exercise to save mail data from Yahoo to Word docs on my hard drive. I need to retain and work the message data in workable format. What does Tbird do with Yahoo mail attachments such as documents and pictures?

Thunderbird will do nothing. The questions is what you want to do with attachments. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-attachments#w_receiving-attachments
