Tony -
I am confused (again?) I don't know Eudora so I don't know your facilities,
but I would have hoped that you could set it to display either the full
header - which would include ALL the transactions between various servers
from the sender through RootsWeb and on to each persons ISP and then to
their mailbox -
OR - set it show a minimum enough to identify the message by the Sender, the
Date and the Subject.

I can show you what Netscape Communicator can do if you read it without
printing it out - presumably this is optional?

Hi all SNIPPED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not PRECISELY how it comes in, copying and pasting seems to insert
'Tabs' or something, so I have (laboriously!) re-positioned the lines to
show roughly how *I* see them.
This message may not necessarily display exactly the same on YOUR e-mail
reader.
If I could use HTML mail I could show you better.

Let us know if this is any help - it's an interesting problem, some
information may help some people but some situations will just have to
'tholed'.

Och Aye the Noo,
