Terry,
probably the easiest thing to do would be to use the FILE...SAVEAS..
feature to save the messages as text files. THen the files can be read by
any computer without your having to install special programs. Unless, of
course the point is that you want to have them use Eudora itself. Eudora
is actually an offline program. It only goes online to check for and
retrieve mail. In the settings, (or whatever it's called in your
version--it changes every .2 versions!!!!) make sure the "check for mail
every..." is set to 0. Now it won't try to connect to anything. Next
you'll have to copy the mailboxes over. Basically copying your setup into
everyone else's machine (I think) I'm not sure how portable the mailbox
files are independent of the user config stuff.

If the messages are what's important, just use the save as text option.

Keith
