	The problem is the mailbox separator that Eudora uses.  It looks like:

		From ???@??? Wed Jan 05 17:18:59 2000

	In particular, the "???@???" is not right.


	Moreover, it uses single carriage-return ("^M") characters as an 
EOL designation, instead of the proper Unix carriage-return/linefeed 
combo.
