It's only now that I importing old Eudora mail into TB
(45.000 mails done, more than half to go) that I really see
how flakey Eudora's sent message headers are.
Compare:

The really nasty part is that older versions of Eudora
didn't write a message-ID in the sent version, so that there
is *no* way to corroborate what you sent (I've been in court
cases concerning the net and know how important message-ID's
can be), and the lack of a unique message-ID makes it rather
impossible to thread, check for double messages in folders
etc.
Wish I'd had TB way back then.... - or had bcc'd myself
copies of everything that I sent.
