Mailer Eudora Help

Name:	Mailer Eudora
Version:	2.1.1
Last update:	2019-11-27 14:12:54

This package enables the sending of messages with the package Mail Menu using the MacOS e-mail client Eudora. Its functions include:

creation and queuing of mail messages
opening of Eudora mail mailboxes.
moving messages between mailboxes, including to Trash
intelligent replies, including quoting of original message
telling Eudora to send queued messages and check for new messages

To change the current mail handler to Eudora, simply select this item in the Mail Help ↣ Mail Handler menu. Eudora can be downloaded from http://www.eudora.com/.
IMPORTANT: In Mac OS X, all Alpha ⇆ Eudora AppleEvent interaction is much slower than in MacClassic. The cause of this is unknown, and will hopefully be addressed in a later release.

Additional Mail Menu commands

Once you have changed the current mail handler to Eudora, in addition to the standard Mail Menu commands the following are also available:

Reply / Reply To All: Create a reply to the message currently being read. The original message is quoted. Use tabs to move between fields.
Open Mailbox: This submenu includes all of the Eudora mailboxes currently known to Alpha. Use the Open Mailbox ↣ Update Mailbox Lists to launch Eudora (if necessary) to obtain the current list. This will be remembered between editing sessions.
Once the list has been created, selecting one of the items will create a new browser window in Alpha allowing you to navigate to an e-mail heading using the arrow keys. Press Return to view the selected e-mail in Alpha.
Move Mail To: This submenu includes all of the Eudora mailboxes currently known to Alpha. If you are viewing a Mail message obtained from Eudora, you can transfer it to a different mailbox, including the Trash.
Tell Eudora: This submenu includes some commands that Alpha can instruct Eudora to complete, launching Eudora if necessary. They include
Flush Outbox: Tell Eudora to flush out mailbox immediately.
Check For Mail: Tell Eudora to check for mail immediately.
