I sent you a number of questions. Had you worked through them instead of
just answering the first one, you'd be done by now. Try to help yourself
a little, eh?

More weirdness --> My wife's computer (DP 450 MHz G4 running OS
10.4.11), connected to our ISP via the same router, CAN, using Eudora,
transmit MS Word 2004 documents. I still have no idea why my DP 1.8 GHz
G5 running OS 10.5.8 CANNOT effect such a transfer using either Eudora
6.2.4 or Mail 3.6.
