I did that. And of course, it works fine. I've also tried Eudora Pro
4.2, which is not in beta, hoping maybe it'd be more stable, but it
didn't work either. I did find something interesting though, and it
seems to fix the problem, although it isn't really very helpful. If I
delete the header that the mail system sticks at the top of each
mail folder, then re-read the folder in Eudora, everything's fine. The
mail system re-creates the header, and from that point on I can
read the mail. A copy of the header is below, with my host name
x'd out.

Any ideas why this would happen, anyone?
