As much I've been plagued by bugs and poor design in Eudora since the
beginning (like the one that started this thread), I can't see changing my
users to anything else. The main reason is the different way that
attachments are handled; I don't know of a way (is there?) to put the
attachment back into the eudora message when moving it to Tbird.

And, since eudora is "official" there is more self-help available to
unload me a bit.

There seems to be a common opinion in these quarters that anyone who uses
Eudora or POP (my users are uncomfortable with IMAP, at least on Eudora)
is just stupid. Well, that's not the only reason.....
