Fail. That's not what I said at all. You're trolling. I'm simply stating that I highly dislike the way Eudora stores messages, often preventing you from obtaining the full message for archival or transfer to another client. IMHO, Eudora makes this much hard than need be - especially when compared with more modern clients. You are perfectly free to ignore my posts if they upset you so much. No need to get your panties bunched up over Usenet posts. > Keeping that in mind will spare you more than a few headaches when > trying to have a "discussion" with him or the rest of his crowd. LOL! I don't have a *crowd*. Your "us versus them" mentality is clouding your world view. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
