One can use Eudora mailboxes as a very convenient, simple, instantaneous
filing system for small bits of data, text notes, etc. Just write a
short note with a suitable subject line and email it as a "file only"
message to an fcc address like
"Ÿ:SomeMailboxFolder:SomeSubjectMailbox"
In fact, if you've created a nickname like "file-to-somesubject" that
points to this fcc address, you can email "file only" messages to this
mailbox instantly with the keystrokes
Tab to Bcc: field >> Type "file-to-so" >> Cmd-E >> Cmd-minus sign
The only problem is that, for my server at least, every Sent message has
to have a _real_ (external) email address in the To: field. If there
isn't, the Sent mail bounces with error message:
Couldn't send message: server says "503 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient)"
Obviously I can send these file-only messages to myself -- but then I
have to remember them and discard them when they come back. (And, I
can't think of a simple filtering scheme that would unambiguously
recognize and discard such returned file-only messages, with no risk of
false positives).
I could create a second real address (or personality?) for file-only
messages, and filter on that when they come back -- but that involves
interacting with my server provider, or other complexities.
**Is there any simple (single-keystroke) way to get Eudora to save these
file-only messages to the fcc address, or to accept a "dummy address" in
the To: field, without having to send to a real (RCPT) address?**
