Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / January 2010

It is possible; I use TidBITS Autocorrect dictionary in Eudora 6.4.2 on
Snow Leopard.

John, you are correct that Eudora 8 is "a wholly different animal"
from Eudora 6, which is why I asked the question.  I used Eudora on
the Mac from its inception at the University of Illinois until version
4.??.  I used the TidBits autocorrect dictionary on at least ver. 4.
I then was forced to move to Windows for work, where I used the
TidBits autocorrect dictionary (it has something like 5000 entries of
words and replacements, so it is very handy to have).  However, when I
got back to the Mac with ver. 6.2.x, I could not get the dictionary
working.  Unfortunately I failed in my attempts to get it working back
in September and eventually I deleted the files I was using in the
attempt.   I know I tried CRLF conversion from Windows, tried
downloading the original TidBits dictionary, etc. and poked around in
Eudora's "support" files to try to find the proper format, to no
avail.

I have email in Eudora mailboxes going back well over a decade (call
me an electronic pack rat!), have PGP integrated, have all my mail and
attachments stored on a PGP encrypted disk, etc., and I just don't
want to mess with my setup to try the Eudora 8 beta. So if anyone is
running 8 Beta and has had success using Snow Leopard's autocorrect
function, please let me know.  Having that working would push me to
make the leap to Eudora 8.  Thanks, all!
