Sorry for the misroute. And thanks all for the help. I have set up OE again.
Very much cooler than Eudora. Sorry Eudora fans. I will miss the interactive
spell checker (so will all of you) :-) I just tried my first ever remote
mail check. Way cool. Can't wait to learn the AppleScript necessary to take
specific messages by headers and strip text out and past it appended to a
database file.
The sounds link worked earlier, then not. The last time I tried I got some
cute movie track rip off sounds. But they weren't like the Mac sounds that
sound the instant they are activated. Those are the ones I want to search
for.
One last question for now? I am not finding where my Eudora files are kept
so as to import them from OE. Any help on that one?
Many thanks.

None of this is relevant in OS X of course. If you are a migrating OE

For any serious email wrangling, I still rely on OS 9, AS 1.7 and OE.
