It's my understanding that XP is built upon the 2000 platform (so to speak)
and to date I've never had any problems, rock solid.   Not sure what
happened with the IN box other than maybe when I'd closed the mail reader
it somehow goofed when collapsing and compacting the mail box.      In any
event, I'm gonna stick with the 2kpro and Eudora Pro as well, since after
digging around it's become evident that the busted mailbox wasn't the fault
of either the OS or the mail handler but a bad spot on the HDD that has
since been marked and locked (hey it's the laptop and it gets banged around
a lot).

Oh yes...  and with AVG which does scan through Eudora nothing gets by me.
 Works good.    Not even embedded scripts sneak by.   


And I'm ticked that a few posts with web sites I wanted to check out got
eaten...
