Oooh, name of IMAP folder. :D
Do you use the nickname file because "Eudora Folder" is subject to
change? Or is that for some other configurational reason?
It's the only file that is certain to live directly in the Eudora Folder.
OK, so you recommend that over 'path to "docs"'?
tell application "Eudora"
set w to name of window 1 as Unicode text
Is there a good way to handle whether the frontmost window is the
message or the mailbox with the message row selected? I mean when
Eudora is erroring due to mailbox location (it's easier when Eudora
tells the truth, of course).
if setting 32628 is not "%p (%p)" then return beep
That must be a post-5.1 setting...
Ah! TIme to update then. An IMAP mailbox has the name of the IMAP
account in brackets after the mailbox name, so that will make your
task easier.
Actually it looks like the other setting (11320) is more than enough. :-)
After all, Eudora's problem centers on the "root-y" folder, and not
on any of the subfolders thereof. And it seems there are only two
folders I need to track as root-y, so I will just assume "IMAP
Folder" on error of "" folder.
As an aside, I read quite a lot of spleenful messages in various
forums from people using old versions of Eudora or the
free/sponsored version inveighing against Dorner & Co for not
perfecting Eudora to their liking. If all these people were to pay
the ridiculously low price of Eudora, it would create the resources
to make the improvements needed. Eudora is an amazing piece of
software and many people, like me, spend more time in Eudora than in
an other application and use it more or less as a control center.
It's easy to use Eudora in sponsored mode because the ads are so
discreet and unobtrusive -- it might be a good idea if the ads were
scheduled to get bigger and bigger and more and more distasteful as
time went on :-).

I think it's a matter of people not wanting to pay for bug fixes, as
that feels like extortion. And the only reason I upgraded from 4.2 to
5.1 was for my OS X machine; my 7.6.1 machine cannot use any higher
version, obviously (well it could use 4.3, but that's where they
replaced text/enriched with html and I thus viewed 4.3 as a
downgrade). Another aside: I miss the snappiness of Eudora 3.
