Then, you can select, cut, and paste to your heart's delight. To be safe, run this wp when Eudora is closed, and do not save the text file, because you run the risk of writing a different format, one which Eudora will not understand. DOS EDIT may work, if IN.MBX is not too large; else, EDIT will err for being "out of memory". If you examine IN.MBX carefully, you will see the ????? which indicate the start of a new message. The file IN.TOC stores pointers to these starting lines, to permit direct access to individual messages. I hope this helps. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 10:28 AM 8/6/97 -0500, you wrote: >On 08:14 AM 8/6/97 -0400, the following was submitted for consideration by Adam Kippes: >>That's what it means... but don't you think it's a bit risky, not setting >>any limit?

I set it at no limit because I want all the mail from my server to download first. It does that fine. So now that I have it all downloaded, I want to read a message I see in the window, but it won't let me. The point is that I have set no limits, but Eudora obviously thinks it knows better. This option is on the Checking Mail page of the options, so why is it screwing with the opening of a message that has been on my drive for a few hours? > > > >--------- >This message brought to you by WSO - http://wso.williams.edu/ >To unsubscribe, send any message to eudora-win-off@wso.williams.edu >FAQ available at http://wso.williams.edu/~eudora/ >Searchable message archive: http://wso.williams.edu/listserv/eudora-win/ > > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew Mitchell : Counselor at Law, federal witness B.A., Political Science, UCLA; M.S., Public Administration, U.C.
