An ATypoKill Hack takes advantage of a capability hidden deep within Eudora's internal spell checker. When an appropriately formatted text file containing misspelled words and their correct replacements (delimited by colons, one pair per line; a sample is enclosed) is placed in Eudora's Spelling Dictionaries folder, Eudora suddenly gains an auto-correct feature that automatically fixes typos and misspellings as you type, when you paste text, or when you redirect a message (in short, whenever Eudora sees misspelled text in a message composition window).
Now all I need to distribute this for real is a distributable replacement dictionary. Contact me if you can provide one.
This feature of Eudora is completely unsupported by Qualcomm.
