Sure - I knew it would turn out to be my fault somehow, not the program or
something like that. Eudora is perfect, it's just the users who are at
fault.
However reading
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/eudorapro/mac/english/updater313/README shows
no sign of a bugfix of "can't script personalities without getting strange
error" or "now replies in same personality as it was addressed to". (When I
tried to reply to this mail, which was sent to the non-dominant
personality, it [wrongly] set the replying personality to the dominant one.
So that does happen. And you can find references to it on the Web if you
look around for "Eudora personality reply". Such as
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=eudora+personality+reply&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&se
lm=110519991225098437%email@hidden&rnum=2 . And that's
referring to Eudora 4.2.)
I'll apply the update anyway, though obviously only a long course of
therapy - rather than my flawed try-end try wrappers - will truly make me
good enough to use Eudora as I should.
