the old pure-silver archive files are in a format which is very easily
convertable to a Eudora mailbox format.
open Eudora and create a new folder. e.g. "ps archives"
1. download an archive file and save it into the folder which eudora created
abobe. Give it the extension .mbx and use a sensible naming convention so
that you have a file named something 200409.mbx which would be for sept
2004's archive.
do not try to open this in eudora before doing the following.
2. open 200409.mbx in Word as a "Text" file.
3. press ctrl+home to place the cursor at the top of the file.
4. press enter to insert a blank line at the top of the file.
5. open the replace tool.
make global change exactly as follows:
replace:
^pFrom owner-pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
with:
^pFrom ???@???
use replace all
6. save file as 200409.mbx
7. open eudora and your archive file will appear in the "ps archives" folder as
200409
8. if you're smart you will record the above edits as a word macro and save
the macro to your normal.dot template so you will only have to open further
archive files and run macro to do the edits.
I have only tested this on PC and haven't a clue if works on Macs.
The benefits are that you get all the eudora functionality of searches etc etc
etc.
eudora is free.
good luck

p.s. I am not subscribed to the old pure-silver list so someone may want to
paste this message to that list to inform them since they do not appear to have
a clue how to get the archive in a useable format.
