I have just changed ISP provider and use Eudora 6.1 for the Mac. My
e-mails now contain a line that reads "X-Sender: username@ISPprovider.net@
pop3.ISPprovider.net, apparently because my POP account is not the same
as my return address.

I am concerned that receivers of my e-mail will mistakenly think that
this elongated indication in the X-sender line is my new e-mail address
instead of the real address which is username@ISPprovider.net.

A little searching revealed a "plug-in"? called Kill X-Sender but
downloading it and putting it in my Eudora folder or in Eudora stuff
folder does not do a thing.

Does anyone out there have a solution for how to get rid of the X-Sender
line in my outgoing e-mails?

I've been using Kill X-Sender for years now and it does work. This is
true from versions 4.x up to 6.1 under OS X. If putting the plugin
into /Applications/Eudora Application Folder/Eudora.app/Con
tents/MacOS/Eudora Stuff is not sufficient and you're working with
Panther (OS X 10.3.x), you can also add plugins via the application's
information window.

Greets,

If the Sender: header is added after the email leaves you for the ISP,
then it is not under your control. Try adding YOUR OWN Sender: header
and see what happens.
