This article needs updating with regard to import problems like when data is not in standard location, or when eudora is not installed.  I'll do a little cleanup, but probable more is needed.  Related info:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274021#c6  not given the option to select desired Eudora directory to import mail from if several Eudora installations (profiles) exist
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368634  Importer (Win Eudora, Address Book). Unable to import if Eudora is using '.nnt' format
