Sure. The file is actually pretty large, so I'm going to upload it to 
my website, instead of sending it as an attachment.  In fact, anyone 
who wants a copy can grab it. I'll leave it up until I need the 
space.  The link is:

The compressed file (zip archive) is around 51MB. Uncompressed it 
should be around 150MB in size.

Using the MailBox
Eudora stores mail in the standard mailbox (mBox) format--basically 
as organized text. here are the easiest methods for using the file.

I Use Eudora
Take the mailbox, and drop into your Eudora MailBox folder. On 
Windows this is located in your Program Files folder [ C:\Program 
Files\Qualcomm\Eudora\Mail Folder or   C:\Program 
Files\Qualcomm\Eudora\ ] unless you specified a different location. I 
typically place this in My Documents for our Eudora using clients. 
For Mac OS 9 users, the Eudora folder is most likely located in your 
system folder, unless you've specified elsewhere.  For Mac OS X the 
folder should be in your Documents folder 
/Users/<yourname>/Documents/Eudora Folder/Mail Folder/

Open Eudora and the file should display as a MailBox under the MailBox menu.

I Don't Use Eudora
Download the free version of eudora from http://www.eudora.com. 
Install it. Pay attention to where your default mail box is stored. 
Then follow the above instructions.

Note: For those enterprising enough Eudora can be transferred into 
Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape and a slew of other mail formats. 
You'll need to locate the conversion instructions yourself.

Note2:  For those even more enterprising, Since Eudora is delimited 
text, the file can be imported into a database like FileMaker or 
Access. This is a small project, but once it's down provides a 
massive amount of flexibility.

Note3: For everyone. I'm fairly certain I've never posted 
Buffy/Willow fiction. So if my name or email address is on a post 
(Alnisa Allgood, allgood2slipnet), it means that I forwarded the 
fiction from the web archive to myself, because I was missing 
chapters, etc.  The current sort will NOT allow these chapters to 
fall in line based on subject, since the sender is me. You can either 
modify the sort by sorting strictly on Subject, or use the search 
command to find the subject.

Have fun.
