Thanks, Bill. I couldn't get my old Eudora to transfer over to my new hard drive, so went looking and found that Eudora officially has some problems with WINXP home which is what we've got now. I didn't pursue it further partly because my brain was frying at the time with the all of the extra downloads they suggested to work around the problem, the new hard drive set-up programs, getting the network set up, etc. Now that I've had some time to breath, I might take a look, again. I'd like to use my old program, but I really appreciate your workaround link...silly buggers!
