Crashy message
Peter Ceresole
repeatable. The application simply quit when checking, but without
downloading anything. I used a webmail application to have a look; there
was one 'normal' message, which I didn't need, and one with a long
meaningless subject. I deleted them both and Eudora is back to normal
behaviour. So it's the email, not some Settings corruption (which is the
only other cause of crashing that I have seen more than once).
I suspect that this is a one-off event, linked to that mail. Out of
curiosity, what would cause a mail to crash Eudora on downloading?
Eudora 6.1 (I know, I know but it works beautifully) in OS 10.4.11, on
an iG5 1.8GHz with 1.5GB RAM.

Bah! It wasn't a single message- and it wasn't a corrupted settings file
either. It still quit every time I checked mail. So in the end I got
irritated and replaced just the Eudora.app with a later version, 6.2.4,
which I was using on a MBP.
With the original settings file, it now works fine.
It's just serendipity; I should have done this ages ago.

Similarly 6.2.4.

Deffo.
But I'm really happy with having done the update to 6.2.4. No visible
difference from 6.1 but it was silly of me not to have done it ages ago.
