Re: Editing a 2GB+ file



But I thought T-bird was supposed to be the basis for the new Eudora? Or
is that yet another empty promise? I tried T-bird a couple of years ago
and found it awful, but much will have changed.

I don't know T-bird's format, but from the Eudora side, it's all boringly simple. One can muck around in Eudora .MBX files as much as one likes, with no real damage threatened. I'd close Eudora first, of course. Eudora offers to re-index altered .MBX files when it is re-launched.

Great explanation.

What about converting Eudora *.MBX files to Thunderbird? There are a few programs that claim to do that. It sounds as if all you have to do is search and replace to exchange the "From ???@???" to "From - Tue Oct 20".

According to Wood, Eudora uses the string ???@??? instead of the
sender's e-mail address in the From_ line.

Yes, that seems to be what it does, reliably. But there is no blank line preceding it, just the CR/LF pair ending the content of the previous message.
