You may know that you and your friend are not
'evil' but I couldn't know that.

The number of 'evil people' in a Western country
seems to be about 4%, but under people who ask
for help with spam related problems the percentage
is probably much higher (but not 100% of course,
more like 50%).

I wasn't accusing anybody but just warning to be
cautious.

When you still need help, I'll gladly help. Some
time ago I have posted information about my PHP
script with which you can look at Eudora folders
and do with the mails whatever you like...

Greetings,
Jaap

Jaap, and all,

Thank you for helping me find the best way for my friend to
send a 
newsletter to all senders contained in a Eudora mail folder.
He was able to 
accomplish what he needed using native Eudora functions
(Thank you, Jerry)

My friend says that this method works for him:
