If your copy doesn't show "1.2a4" in the LL corner of the Question box, get a new copy. What we do here is put Eudora on the fileserver, but make it invisible, and hence not directly launchable. Then, we pass out copies of a Eudora Settings file on a floppy, so students can use Eudora off of the floppy. Since they can't get to the Eudora app (mod ResEdit hacking), there's no chance for even the abysmally confused user to end up with his or her mail in the System Folder. >Also about Eudora, over a serial connection I seem to be >able to do everything except actually send mail. Eudora >sends the message(s) completely and then just sits there. I dunno about "sends the messages completely". 9 times out of 10 if recieving mail works and sending mail does not, you have a problem with the interpretation of carriage returns somewhere in your dialup path. This usually manifests itself in the initial negotiations with the SMTP server, however, so you might have something different going on here. Read Appendix D of the manual carefully. (If you don't have appendix D, get a new copy of the manual.) If that doesn't help, get in touch with me directly. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
