Hi all,

I asked last week about connecting a Mac to Demon, which I've now done
(hopefully) successfully. Thanks for all the help people offered.

I do have a question though. How should I set up Eudora for the multiple
users? The way I've done it is to copy the Eudora settings file and modify
it for each person. This *appears* to work, but there's a slight oddity in
sending mail. Each person appears to be able to send, but the *envelope*
sender is set to whoever selects 'Send queued mail'.

Any advice as to whether I've done this properly would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy

You should have a Eudora floder in the top level of your System folder,  each
user should also have a similar folder in the same place named "Andy's Mail"
or such.  It should contain identical items to the Eudora folder.

If you double click on the "Andy's settings" or its alias in this folder it
will open Eudora with your settings, and any personal changes like signatures
should remain separated from other Eudora folders.

Please explain further what you mean by *envelope* sender?

When you send email, it is sent in what is called an envelope which
consists of who the mail is from and too, these are seperate to but
normally derived from the From: & To: headers in the email.

For example:
Return-Path: <vicj@softhome.net>
Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore          for
Newsmaster@pwomar.demon.co.uk id 889515325:11:27012:0;          Tue, 10
Mar 98 07:35:25 GMT
Received: from charleston.softhome.net ([204.144.231.13])          by
punt-1.mail.demon.net  id aa1010796; 10 Mar 98 7:34 GMT
Received: from abc (201-95-85.ipt.aol.com [152.201.95.85])      by
charleston.SoftHome.net (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id AAA27296;    Tue, 10
Mar 1998 00:41:20 -0700
Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980309233508.007ab620@pop.SoftHome.net>
X-Sender: vicj@pop.SoftHome.net
X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.5 (32)
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 23:35:08 -0800
To: clarvic@aol.com
From: vicj@SoftHome.net
Subject: 
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable


The return path shows the envelope sender, in this case the same as the
From line, the to Line isn't me but the top recieved line shows the
envelope was addressed to Newstmaster@pwomar...
