No, that didn't do it. As I recall, last time this came up, I also trashed
every MS pref I could find in the System folder without any effect on how
Entourage opened.

Paul,
You're confusing two issues. OPIM is Entourage's _creator_ code, not the
file type. The creator code is not the problem. The file type Entourage uses
is MBOX, whereas the file type Eudora wants is TEXT. Yes, it is a text file,
but of a very special type. If you try importing 1 million

OPIM is a creator, not a type. The semantics of creators are quite different
from the semantics of file types (which are likewise quite different than
file extensions).
The reason the TEXT designation is ambiguous is that it tells you absolutely
nothing about the contents of the file, and
Entourage has now effectively established a standard type for mbox files

just for your information, after reading your reply, I did a

The same can be said for vcard, ical, and a host of other formats.
Regardless, the file type you advocate is still not descriptive, and hence
the built in features of the OS are not available to help the user handle
