A personality IS a mail account. If you have only one to monitor you should ignore the concept.
Many of us have separate accounts for, say, lists and regular mail. We may also want to have an account we never read for SPAM suppression. In my case I have a need to monitor my boss' mail because he often misses important stuff. Mail addressed to my domain which has a bad username comes to yet another "admin" account. Personalities are the answer and they are a complete solution.
Eudora is missing two AppleScript options:
1) Eudora filters should have an option to pass tests to other APPLs via AppleEvents. That doesn't mean only AppleScript but could include perl or grep for regular expressions.
2) Eudora's dictionary needs to provide for access the current selection of messages in a mailbox window so they can be acted upon by a script either sequentially or en masse.
Other than those I find Eudora's interface to AppleEvents appropriate. It was quite easy to prepare a script that added the To: field of an outgoing message to a address book group which is immediately accessed by a filter which in turn passes a response from that address through my SPAM filters.
Note the reply to selector by John Delacour on 8/2/02. It is simple. It works on a lot of lists, and it is the result of Eudora's scripting offering.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
