Re: Eudora 6.21 eating CPU 50%

Hi Larry, Steve and others,

Last week we managed to isolate a piece of spam that was causing
Eudora to crash on a PC. We have sent it to Qualcomm for
investigation, they have not responded yet.

We hadn't thought about the CPU usage, so we just tried that, Eudora
showed 50% usage prior to crashing, so it sounds like the same
problem that you are facing.

We'll let you know what Qualcomm has to say.

Thanks,
