Hi people,

I've just a revelation. Remember when people were having problems with
Eudora with the 'you wrote', instead of the (eg.,) 'Bull vomited' etc etc.,
well, the reason is thus:

Eudora presumes that the person you reply to knows who you are because they
wrote to you in the first place, and you *replied* to their original email.
They didn't consider things like mailing lists apparently.

So, if you reply to all instead (ie., hold shift and click reply), then
you'll note that the line will now use 'Bull vomited' instead (Sorry, I have
no idea why I enjoy using Bull in my examples, maybe next time I'll use MC23).

Just a little note.

You can also edit the Eudora.ini file so that that string says whatever you
want it to. If you look in the help, it details exactly what line you have
to edit. That's a little easier.

Ah to be so loved.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
