The Eudora problem, if anyone is an expert on it (ver. 4.0 Pro) is that it will start to download, then the whole program just closes. Before that, it comes up with a message that "Mailbox has a damaged table of contents. Shall I fix that?" If I "fix" that, I get a whole list of old files. But it doesn't matter if I say yes, or cancel, I cannot download my mail, the program just closes.
I have been using this program on a number of Win machines (95, 98, XP) for a whole batch of years, and never seen this behaviour before. AAMOF, I would really like to run it on Linux in Wine, or something. I have to confess that I like it a lot better than KMail.
*************************************************************************** ********
Unfortunately, the original headers of the message are lost. I don't know how to forward something and keep all the original stuff. (I'm not all that familiar with KMail, since I really don't like it that much. Plus I can't rely on it--the Japanese characters are a real-life problem, and I was forced back to Windows.

-- Hi, I don't know if the following is relevant for your particular problem, and was not (as far as I know) related to asian fonts in Eudora. Some times ago, a friend of mine, using eudora Pro (v 3 I think) had a similar problem. When he started the mail client, a message told him that the mailbox need some fix and he agreed for the fix. Then whenever he tried to download the messages from the pop server, the process stoped and no messages were downloaded. This behavoiur being reproducible. I thought that the process stopped each time at the same mail, and I decided to use our webmail interface (using IMAP) to access the mails. Using the webmail, I was able to delete some unimportant / SPAM / weird messages. After that, we were able to download the message flawlessly using Eudora. Could you use another protocol (IMAP/POP...) or another mail client and try to delete the last incoming messages (or the suspicious one) ?

It involved modifying settings to incorporate an iso font. Jim Cunning suggested it. Thanx, Jim, but no cigar! OTOH, the suggestion from Matthias was inadvertantly implemented here in KMail. All the stuff I could access in Eudora, I d/l'd here, without any d/l problem, and I guess whatever the weirdness was, KMail didn't care. That cleared out the d/l queue. Eudora seems to work, now, but I'll know better in a few days. (I wish I knew of a Eudora list I could post the info to!) Thanx, Matthias. __________________________________________________
