I know how to do this; in that "..." that you bracketed of
my comment above I actually described this self-same
procedure, which is almost more tedious than retyping it!  I
really think I would like to switch to Eudora, if I could
get myself to go to the trouble of downloading and paying
for the pro version.  What I would really like in a mailer
is: the flexibility of PINE (to create topicalized folders
that would act like the SENT file of Netscape; to offer
you several types of UNIX editing formats like PICO or
MUSH) with the ductility of windows.  I'd like it to
keep that wonderful option of clicking on someone's URL
and calling up their webpage (which UNIX PINE didn't have,
and which I'm not sure that WINDOWS PINE has either).
I'd like to have the whole window to view my inbox with.
There's probably some way to fix it in Netscape, but I
have to charge up and down about an inch of space to
see sometimes fifty messages.
