Hi Gordon,

Thanks for the info. I found the page setup header information, but when I did the
upgrade it removed them. Basically I installed Eudora cleanly on to another
computer and then I saw the header codes. I wrote them down and copied them into
the problematic installation and it worked. I couldn't find any info regarding the
header codes and what the various options are.
It would be a nice thing to have to customize the header and footer printouts.

Does anyone have a list of Eudora header and footer codes?

Thanks,
Bruce
