The new version of Eudora (7.1.0.9) which is being deployed throughout Extension no longer has the menu option to change your password. Here's how to get it back:

There is a "fix" for the new Eudora and the missing Change Password option on the Special menu. Actually, the creators left it off intentionally - they felt that there were more people than not who would be unable to change their password in that manner, so they made the default to hide that option.

To fix this, you need to go into Eudora and create a new message - then, in the body of the message you need to put the following string:

<x-Eudora-option:RemoveChangePassword>

You *must* include everything - even the <> - then, you click on that text string while holding down on the ALT key - you will get a dialog box that will allow you to change the value of this parameter - give it a new value of 0 (zero) - then, exit out of everything, including Eudora. When you go back into Eudora the next time the Change Password option will once again appear on the Special Menu.
