So, you deleted the addresses from the address book, and they still turn up in the Message To menu? I haven't seen something like that ever, but here's a suggestion: Most of the Eudora files are simple text files, open it with something like BBEdit. I just tried it, and it's just a simple list. If the old adresses are there, delete them, save the file, and see if they are gone from the menu. If not, at least you have a list of the addresses that you'd like to keep. I did something similar, some time back when one of my mailboxes got too big for my Q800 to handle it. I opened it with BBEdit, cut it in half and saved it as to different files. It worked fine, so I reckon it should be save to fidle around with the nicknames file too. You probably should try it out of a copy first though.
