Re: Eudora 6.21 eating CPU 50%

I have experienced two instances this week with Eudora consuming 100%
of resources. Both instances, Monday and Wednesday, required editing
the mbx with Notepad to delete the offending email because Eudora
totally choked. This was easier on Wednesday because it was only one
email. It had an embedded file, which may have been so large as to
choke Eudora (I failed to check). On Monday I had so much junk (off
for a week) that it was impossible to tell which was the offending
email and whether there was embedded content attached to it. May not
be the same problem, but worth checking out.
