Transfer Menu
Daniel B. Martin
When viewing a message I right-click it and get a menu. I mouse over
Transfer and see a menu of mailbox names. I click on a desired mailbox
name and the message is transferred to that mailbox. All well and good.
The problem is that menu of mailbox names is too large (vertically) for
my 17-inch display. A few mailbox names are off the bottom edge of the
display. Is there a way to adjust the dimensions of that menu?

No. That happens when Windows and Eudora have a miscommunication about
where the edges of the window are located. (I'm not sure where the fault
lies, but I've seen this happen in other programs too, so it isn't purely
a Eudora problem.)
There are a couple of things you can do. If you're using a desktop theme
or color scheme that does something to the menu font that makes it bigger
than its normal size, try changing that. Bolding is the main attribute
that would do this. I've also seen problems like this in a number of
places when Windows was told to use large fonts, especially if the size
chosen is customized. ("Large fonts" increases the size displayed by a
percentage, and sometimes the extra space used doesn't get accounted for
properly.)
If that's not the issue, or if you don't want to change it, you can try
setting Eudora to scroll menus rather than wrap them. The setting for that
is WrapMenus=0. It goes in the [settings] section of eudora.ini.
Or you can organize some of your top level mailboxes into folders so that
you have less items to list at the top level. Organizing your mailboxes
that way may also make it easier to find any given mailbox.
