I have a eudora message that creates a kernal spinning beach ball and cannot
delete the message. Soon as it is highlighted it spins before I can delete
it. I have to force quit only to start it all over again
Can someone give me an answer to my dilema

Try clicking on another unwanted e-mail, and then Command click on the
problem one - if Eudora's like most other e-mail clients, it won't show
either message, and you can then safely delete the two messages. This
has worked for me and our clients many times in Outlook
Express/Entourage, and I can't see any reason it wouldn't work in Eudora
and Mail.app.
Hope that's of use
Sean

If no-one in this group can, try posting this request to
comp.mail.eudora.mac - some very helpful and knowledgeable people in
that group and they'll solve your problem within hours, or I'll eat my
hat! :)

2 options:
(1) Turn off the automatic previewing/viewing option in Eudora (click on
the little arrow at the bottom-left of the list of mail messages. Then
click on the message you want to delete & delete it by pressing the
delete key.
(2) Open the Inbox file using TextEdit. The format of the file is fairly
simple once you investigate it. Find the offending email & delete it.
Might be worth making a backup of the file before you try this.
