I duplicated a mailbox "temp" (shorter than In, contains only 1 message), edited (shortened) it with MPW Shell, then opened it with Eudora (actually, I did these things twice: first, opening with Eudora's "Open" menu item, then (after further changes using MPW) by double-clicking it). In both cases, Eudora opened it (putting up the "Rebuild table of contents?" dialog that you mention below) but did not add it to the list of mailboxes in the Mailbox menu.
Hmmm. It may be an OS neXt or Eudora 6 thing. I just did this on my e-mail and Excel machine running OS 9.1 with Eudora 5.1:
Select a small mailbox in "Documents:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder:"
Drag the icon to another hard disk effectively making a finder copy.
Rename the copy.
Drag the icon of the copy onto an alias of the Eudora application (version 5.1, paid)
Eudora opened the mailbox and it immediately appeared in the always-open mailboxes window. I can still see it.
No AppleScript involved.
The MPW shell over here on OS 9 will not change the type and creator of a mailbox and I have opened and changed many of them that way. Using Save-as from MPW will make the new file type TEXT and creator 'MPS ' which might be a problem. MPW on OS neXt-classic is something I don't do (BBedit worksheets are good enough.) and I'm not so sure it won't affect the launch services aspect of a file "owned" by Eudora in the non-classic area. The Eudora index is in the resource fork on OS 9 and may be a separate .toc file in neXt.
Perhaps the Eudora mailing list? AppleScripting is allowed there.
