A fourth way is to break the script into two scripts: one holds the
properties and will let you change them if you run it; the other
loads the properties from the first and does the actual work. The
down side is that you now have two commands instead of one, but both
are easy to discover and use.
one way to help the user remember the saved values, and
thus remind them whether to change them, is to indicate the
values in the name of the menu item.
depending how you're making this a Eudora menu, you may
have to change the filename of the script (or the name of
an alias to the script), and it may not update dynamically.
i do this with Frontier (where it's simpler and menu names
are dynamic).
