Using Eudora 6.2.4b4
Sometimes I begin to type in name of recipient but another address
shows up for someone I've emailed once or twice and who's not in my
address book.

My copy of Eudora 6.2.3 under OS X 10.2 crashed on me Monday night when
downloading messages.  I restarted, and I could tell that Eudora was trying to
rebuild the table of contents, which the log confirms as below (these didn't
appear as error messages).  

I have been using Eudora for many years, and have come to rely on its
features, many of which have no equivalent in other mail clients.
Now the Penelope project is saying they want input on what features we
(the users) regard as most important. It might be worth compiling a

Since the update to 6.2.4 (by the way: it's still paid version although
I
paid more than one year ago) none of the services in the Eudora menu

Despite the fact that I am well past the 2 year anniversary of my last
payment to Qualcomm, installing the final release left me in paid mode
anyway. I guess they didn't quite have the chutzpah to charge for a
minor update after promising a major one for so long.

I have a wonderful list of recipients in  my "New message to," "Forward
to," and "Redirect to" pull-down menus under the "Message" tab. Some
have died. Some ha offended me and I no longer wish to contact them. But
I do not know how to eliminate them.

When drafting a message or reply in Eudora, I'd like to have some added
text editing capabilities, with global Find and Replace high on the list.
Can "Word Services" do this?  I have Eudora 6.2.3 at present, and
BBEdit, TextEdit, and possibly Nisus Writer Express as the text ...

My experience is that using this crashes Eudora immediatly.
Do you have similar unpleasantness ?
If not, what can I try?

Yesterday I was somewhere else with my TiBook. I sent email over an
ethernet cable via an ADSL-modem. The mail didn't leave fluently,
haven't a clue why. I did fiddle (indeed, out of lazy ignorance) with
the Allow authorisation tick.

Eudora 6.2.4 does not generate filter reports anymore.
That is _very_ annoying.
I checked my settings: Miscellaneous has "Generate Filter Reports"
ticked.

Maybe I'm the only one a bit sad to hear about Qualcomm retiring the
Eudora codebase (but maybe not). I'm curious about one thing in
Qualcomm's announcement [ http://eudora.com/faq/ ].

I'm trying to set up a .Mac account in Eudora paid on my iMac Intel,
and also on my Treo 650 with Chattermail.
The settings recommended by Apple's support page don't work.  My
account is <dave28c@mac.com>, and I've always understood that is user
