[jsing () ORIGIN NET AU (Joel Sing)]

Hi,

I've had exactly the same problem. I wasted about half an hour today
cleaning up my in.mbx file. Every time I restarted Eudora it would GPF.
Turned out that there was a copy of the email in a file in the spool
directory and this was being processed each time Eudora started. Also had
to telnet to the POP server, locate the message and delete it.

Yes, I know it's my fault but it's not a nice way to go :( This is a real
nasty bug in Eudora/Windows... Has anyone let Qualcomm know about this??

Cheers,

Joel Sing
