<x-eudora-setting:284> The registration name.
[Is that FirstName+LastName concatenated?]

<x-eudora-setting:285> The registration code.

Is there any x-eudora-setting for which mode?
(Sponsored vs. Light vs. Paid)

In the Windows version, each of the three modes
has its own, potentially independent set of
First Name, Last Name, and Reg Code
(if one has registered in each mode,
then one can later just switch modes
without re-entering anything),
and an X-Eudora-Option:Mode link
can be used as one way to set which mode
(0=Sponsored, 1=Light, 2=Paid),
so I was wondering whether there is any such
ability to have some clients who use Macs
similarly adjust by simply clicking links in an email?

Thanks.

Both of these are blank for me -- and I'm in "paid" mode.

I'm surprised that Eudora would make it so easy to switch modes. Or, am
I missing something? In any case, at least based on my settings, it
would appear that Eudora is doing something different on the Mac side.

I guess these must have changed; thanks so much for letting me know.

Well, "Help" > "Payment & Registration"
permits easily switching modes at any time,
or entering name and registration code
(according to page 23 of latest Mac_User_Guide.pdf),
so I was trying to see whether the same thing
could be accomplished by clicking links
(I thought that this might be an easier way
to convey it to someone else at another location,
and who may not share a common language with me,
than any other sort of instructions).

The Windows version equivalents (x-eudora-option)
are all spelled out, rather than by numbers,
and the options are all in a plain text file,
rather than in a Resource Fork,
so this is perhaps the only known example
of something that's easier and more comprehensible in Windows
than on a Mac :)

Thanks a bunch again for your kind help.
