Ah yes. Cute idea. (Would be even nicer if Eduora would allow you to have a
filter trigger a script... :-/)
Though personally I would consider it a downside that this requires more
understanding of how to script Eudora (something I don't find easy). Perhaps
worse: it seems to me this would mean having the machine send itself mail
constantly just to find out if the IP address changed.
