 * Can anyone explain this :
    I use a script to add posts and enclosures. The inserting
   posts works like a charme. Also adding other custom meta fielsds works however
   when i try to add an enclosure .. the meta field never shows up in the post.
 * Is there another way to “attach” an enclosure ?
 * $mypost_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
    add_post_meta( $mypost_id, ‘enclosure’,
   $encstring ); $encstring = $article[‘enclosure_url’] . “\n” . $article[‘enclosure_length’].“\
   n” . $article[‘enclosure_type’];

 * No one creates Enclosures using a RSS import script ??
 * Now i use another custom field to store the media-link.
    However : it belongs
   in the custom field “enclosure”. The script somehow does not allow the creation
   of the enclosures custom field in a post using an import-script
