It is most definitely NOT impossible to populate Eudora from Address Book. It is Address BNook that is defective in not allowing allowing multiple addresses in vCards and nicknames. Eudora's Address Book is far more complete and flexible.

Explain what you mean and provide evidence.

I am in process of building a new site at

<http://www.bd8.com/eudora/scripting/>

I really hate to point up an inconsistency, but your new site clearly states that it has not been updated since March 16, 2000. That's exactly three (3) years ago. Where, pray tell, are the daily changes?

Well I've just looked and it says:

on every page. Where, pray tell, are you glasses!

In particular let me know how far you would want the EU/AB synch to go, since both Eudora and AB allow custom fields.

I think it should go all the way, ideally. In other words, the [only] value in "Mail" is its sychronicity with the universal AddressBook. If synchronicity could be established between Eudora and the Addressbook, then Mail becomes totally superfluous.

As I've said, it is not possible to mirror all of Eudora's possibilities to ABk, but it IS possible to import all ABk data into Eudora.
