Open an MBX file, define that line and save it for use in your messages. It does not matter what the date and time is - Eudora will change it when you transfer the emails into the Out Message Box. I am in fact using Microsoft Access to dump emails directly into Eudora in the same way I have been using Microsoft Access to write my XyWrite files. It is another wonderful thing about XyWrite: the formatting rubbish is kept to a minimum so for DIY programmers like myself it is possible to create Xy files in other programs. Have you ever seen what certain other nameless word processors put in???The only problem I have with your system is that I can't get the From ???@??? trick to work. When I insert it between messages, even preceded by 2 carrier returns, I just get 1 big message.
