Go to
http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/ini.html
(you can also save this to your hard drive) and look for something like
"allow overwrite"
clicking this link will bring up an option dialog in eudora. The
default value is set to "1" setting it to "0" turns overwrite off for good.
Alternatively you can open your eudora.ini file in notepad and make
the change in there. Always remember to make a backup of your .ini
file before playing around with the settings.

Wow, Dorris. How do you turn it on? I'd like to learn from your
experience. Fortunately, I haven't found that pitfall before.

After some 13 years of using Eudora and running into the problem of
accidentally turning on the overtype mode, I stumbled onto the
solution when greading thru the Eudora.ini settings in search of a
fix for another problem. <g>
There actually is a setting for the eudora.ini file to turn off the
overtype mode altogether. It is enabled by default, i.e. set to
"1",; setting it to "0" disables the overtype mode altogether. This
will save me some grief and headaches over accidentally
deleted/overtyped text in mails for the future. since this topic
has come up on list on occasion, I thought I share.
Happy mailing!
