7.1.0.9 paid (I copied everything from an XP machine to the Vista Home
Basic machine). I can choose more than 1 address from the address book and
hit the To: button to get the addresses properly inserted into a new email.

How many more than 1?

More than two? (at which point people start reporting the problem)

For example:
http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showthread.php?t=12689
http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showthread.php?t=12449

Also independent of Eudora, in Windows Explorer
(with some versions and modes of Vista)
http://www.winforumz.com/vista/Explo...pict13845.html
(search for "bags" or "bagMRU" for an MS-suggested work-around)

The prevailing opinion is that "It's a known Vista bug"

If any victim tries the registry hack, please let us know whether it works!

I've had the same problem and others posted possible solutions that I
have not tried since it is not a major concern. There is always Mozilla
Thunderbird which does not have this problem.

I now tried 3. That worked fine. I then tried 5, but only the first 2
worked (alphabetical, not ctrl-click order).

I won't yet try the purported fixes.

My Mailwasher launches Eudora under Vista if I leave a header untouched.
I have old free version of Mailwasher if that makes a difference.
I've just learned to live with only being able to select 2 addresses in
Eudora.
