Here is a brief extract from the list:

It's not a falsehood. You keep misreading what I say, perhaps because you
don't like it. The X-settings are NOT *CLEARLY DOCUMENTED* in the UI....they
may be somewhat documented in a help file, they may be fully documented in a
list on Eudora's home page.
However, that is not the same as clearly showing you the settings in the UI.
In fact, it's not in the OSX release notes PDF
They aren't in the quickstart guide. In fact, they aren't in any of the
documentation that comes with b13 of 5.2
In a 354 - page user manual, they are only *referenced* as a URL on page 28,
and again in the Index.
On that URL, they are even partially called 'hidden' settings...and I quote:
"What are they?
X-Eudora-Settings allow you to adjust common and "hidden" Eudora settings."
You can yell all you want about how useful they are, and how cool they are.
But they are not.clearly.documented.in.the.UI....unless a tech support web
page is considered part of the program's UI.
