Please read the whole email before deciding which is best for you.
FWIW I only top post when I know it's for you.
The app is all GUI & I don't know how a screen reader can help. This
is one of those cases that is difficult to explain to a non-sighted
person but I'll try. In the upper left corner of the app is an open
folder icon, click it & browse over to where the eudora data files
are. KILL Html does NOT have to be in the same folder as the data
files. When you start browsing you get a popup window titled "Open
HTML files" & by default it wants to open only htm & html files but
you can click the down arrow next to html & change it to "all files".
In the "File name" dialog box key in the name of the mailbox that you
want to strip the html tags from. I like to see only the mailboxes so
I start by keying in *.mbx but that may not be an advantage for you.
Once you keyin the mailbox name such as "in.mbx" then the app adds
the file to a list of "Input file(s)" so repeat clicking the open
folder icon, browsing the data files & adding mailboxes til you have
all of them. Below the "Input file(s)" window is "Output directory"
which you can change to whatever folder that you want & there is a
pull down for "Extension" that includes either Txt or Doc. This
doesn't really matter as you can rename the files later if need be.
There is also a check box in front of "Use original directory" that
you can use instead of "Output directory". Once you have your
parameters then one has to click the play icon at the top center of
the app. It looks like a play button on a VCR but there is no text &
this executes the stripping of html code from all the mailboxes in
the "Input file(s)" list.
The above is for killhtmlfw.exe aka KILL <HTML> for Windows but there
is also killhtml.com that comes with in the same download that you
can run from the command line that may be easier for you. It only
does one mailbox at a time but all you have to key in is "killhtml
in.mbx" & it'll automatically create "in.txt" which is your "in.mbx"
but without the html code. Repeat for each mailbox then move the
resulting text files to a temp folder & rename them back to *.mbx
before importing them into Outlook as Eudora mailbox data files.

I have put killhtml in my d:\eudora5_data folder. When I run it, I
see no files. It should pickup the addressbook at least.
I have shortened the folder name but no go. I have set the mask to
mbx but with no success.
What amI missing?
