[... Inbox apparently corrupted]

He's using 10.x so rebuilding the Desktop and allocating more memory is
not an option. He's already tried restarting the Mac and it's not the
problem.

As always, make sure the file system isn't damaged. Possibly the problem
lies there and only in turn affects Eudora.

After the file system is determined to be OK, replace the Inbox (and/or
possibly the settings file) with a known to be good backup. If you have
no backup, you'll have to try to repair the file (John Meyer's message
Kathy pointed to ight be quite useful), or give up and move on; then set
up a good backup strategy so that next time hell won't be as hot.

Okay, I'll get him to give it a go. Thanks for the info.


Let us know if the above doesn't work - there are other things to try,
but those are the easy things to try first. Also see John Meyers'
message <op.t67fwdlenn735j@xxxxxxx>.

I'm afraid I can't check out John Meyer's message as my newsreader
purges my system of old posts.

I can't imagine MacSOUP doesn't allow you to fetch read articles. FWIW,
in MT-NW you can just Cmd-click the URL Kathy gave. I'd expect a
respected newsclient like MacSOUP will be quite capable of providing the
same functionality.

And you can always search for old articles on 'Google Groups'.

I've just discovered the little popup menu at the bottom left of the
MacSOUP window and it was set to "Unread" so that was my problem.
Thanks.
