In the situation with Eudora that I described earlier in this thread, having a nickname for another nickname means that a change of E-mail address has to be made only once, in the entry where the nickname is for that address. An analogy in Windows would be to have a shortcut to a file and then another shortcut to the first shortcut, etc, etc. Any change to the file would appear for all the shortcuts. This analogy is not perfect since you could change the file through any of the shortcuts while changing an E-mail address in Eudora requires finding the nickname entry that contains the actual E-mail address. -- David E.

Thank you in advance. :) Hmmm. In Eudora Lite 3.0.6 (released about 16 years ago), you can have an address book entry with a nickname for a real E-mail address. Then, you can add another entry with a nickname but for an existing different nickname. For example, my Eudora address book has the following: Allen @ Yahoo = Allen a...@yahoo.com Allen and Christi = Allen @ Yahoo, christi @ home christi @ home = Christi x...@yahoo.com where the terms before the = are nicknames and the terms after the = are either other nicknames or actual E-mail addresses (with the local-part of each address munged. Note that the second entry refers both to preceding and following entries. Also note that @ is an allowed character within a nickname. Is this not a capability of Thunderbird and SeaMonkey's mail-news component? -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ Where does your elected official stand?
