It's possible that she needs to rebuild her desktop--weird things can
happen in Eudora when the desktop needs to be rebuilt, so that's the
first thing I'd try.
If that doesn't resolve the problem, it may be that Eudora is looking in
the wrong place for the Settings file. Have her search in the Finder
for all files named "Eudora Settings." They used to be filed in the
System folder, but in newer versions of Eudora and the System, the
default location is in the Do***ents:Eudora folder. If she can locate
the old good Settings file, have her put an alias in the
Do***ents:Eudora Folder. The alias needs to be named "Eudora Settings"
- without the "alias" on the end.
Let us know if that works; if it doesn't, we can think of other things
to try.
BTW, if you want email copies of followups, it's a really good idea to
use a valid address in the "Reply-To: " header. (I'm not always willing
to unmunge an address, and I'm not the only one.) "Reply-To: " isn't
harvested by spammers nearly as much as the "From: " header is, and it
makes it easy to post with a munged address but still have replies go to
your valid address.
