At the behest of Phyllis, I ran down her list of inconsistencies between
the mac and pc eudora 3.02 installers. I found one item that is still
different. That is this one, quoted again here for clarity --
>-Under Miscellaneous, the setting for Automatically Expand Nicknames, after
>running Welty, is "off" The setting made after running the Eudora v3.0.2
>installer for the Mac is "on."
All the other settings (scan the list below) are the same as what Phyllis
says the mac does. Our goal is probably to have the two systems install
with the same settings, so fixing the above would be good.
Please let us know when there's another installer version to check out.
Thanks,
Rob
