You aren't using OneClick and/or TypeIt4Me are you? I had a problem when I installed Oneclick (don't like it, the patch is unstable) and I started getting letter "a"'s typed in my Eudora mails! I don't know what the problem is, but I disabled OneClick, no more letter a's. I should have gotten a refund for the program, I found it to cause instability and conflicts with other extensions and control panels. Robert Covington
