I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I didn't say you didn't -- only wanted to inform others
that if they downloaded v7.1 since July 2008,
then they don't have X1, despite options saying that they do
(a complete log will also record a complaint, at Eudora launch,
about the missing library, but who ever looks at a log?)

Built-in search is, as of v7, also mighty fast and efficient,
even if not "instantaneous," but what I've turned on X1 for
is as much to enter searches more easily -- e.g. the
"matches X1 query"

They are pretty hard to miss, after all :)
