The link below is the closest thing I could find to an explanation as to why; but they make it sound like the problem should be corrected: http://eudora.com/techsupport/kb/2431hq.html If you run a Google Search on "eudora, root certificates" (minus the quotes) you will see a metric ton of problems related to other Universities, other companies (such as email for AT&T, Yahoo, etc.) and articles on how to correct it. To me, this just screams that they are doing something incorrectly. Add to that the fact, that as you said, no other clients have this problem... I'll just let you draw your own conclusions. I wish I could find a clear cut answer as to what it is they are doing wrong. Maybe its that they only allow for one root certificate and only from a specific CA? Who knows... Either way, yes, its an ugly mess everytime. Fortunately we've got 2 years until our (mail.msu.edu's) next cert rollout. By then Eudora should basically be what Thunderbird is now with whatever extra bells and whistles. ./brm
