My version of Eudora (5.2) crashes from

It may be worthwhile to upgrade to 6.2. I went from 4.3.3
to 6 and skipped the 5.x upgrades for the most part - well, ran one
for a short time - and have not had any crashing problems with 6.x. I
see you're using the paid version of 5.2, so it would probably mean
paying for the upgrade or living with sponsored mode. Is it worth it
to pay? That's hard to answer.
Afterwards one has to "rebuild"
the mailboxes (which are actually just text files). After this many of
the messages have their status rendered as "?"
-
which isn't in the official list of
statuses they should be able to be.
In v6.x it is in the official list. The "?"
status is designated "recovered" in the list, though when
getting the status returned in a script it still gives you «constant
****euS».
Asking what the status of the message is
via AS gets:
«constant ****euS»
(those are left and right << >> brackets).
Trying to set the status of that message doesn't seem to work: it
just
sticks the same way.
Setting it back to "already read" works in
v6.
tell application "Eudora"
set
status of
front
message
to already
read
end tell
Anyone managed to conquer
this?
Sorry, I can't test it because I don't have 5.2 installed,
but upgrading conquers it. If you upgrade it may solve the crashing
problem which would remove the need to reset the messages in the first
place.
I'd like to run a script which would
reset
the status of such messages to something
like "already read".
Someone else with 5.2 will have to chime in regarding
whether or not it's a bug in that version.
