Yes, that's it exactly.

Here's what to do:

1. Option-click (not double-option-click) on a URL in a Eudora message. 
A dialog box will come up prompting you to appoint a default browser 
for Eudora.

2. Pick an OS 9-based browser.

Uh, dude ... Eudora 5.2 is free (in either "light" or "sponsored" 
mode). Go to Eudora.com and read up on how they're handling it these 
days. If you have a big screen and can tuck the ad into a corner, 
"sponsored" is the way to go.

Or you can just pay for it -- it's well worth the money. Or you can use 
Mail, which has really grown on me thanks largely to its Address Book 
integration and spam filtering.

PS. Congrats on the iBook!
