That's due to the fact that Eudora has different settings for the
attribution line for Reply to Sender vs Reply to All. To make them
consistent, or if you want to personalize them somewhat, edit your
EUDORA.INI file, and look for the ReplyAttribution and ReplyAllAttribution
entries in the [Settings] section. In these fields, the %1 represents
the message time, and %2 represents the sender, so one way to fix
the 'problem' is to change the 'you' in the ReplyAttribution field to %2.
