It might help to upgrade to a newer version of Eudora.  The current and
last version is 6.2.4, but it's no longer possible to get the paid
version, so he might be giving up the junk filtering features if he does
that.  The other possibility is that he has a slightly corrupted
Settings file. You can rebuild the Settings by holding down all the
modifier keys (command-option-****ft-control) while you select Settings
from the Special menu.  This will retain the server info, but most of
the other customizations will be lost.  Before rebuilding the Settings,
put a copy somewhere outside the Eudora Folder so you can easily get it
back if it turns out the problem is not solved by rebuilding the
Settings.

You can make it a little easier to restore the customizations if you
have Eudora create a list of them for you before you rebuild the
Settings.  Do this by opening a new message composition window and then
choose "Insert system configuration" from the Help menu.
