Message Options Dialog gone in 4.1 and later

Issue:

Before updating to Eudora 4.2 or later, I had the option of holding the shift key when replying, forwarding, or redirecting a message. This would bring up a Message Options box that allowed me to select personality and stationery. Now this doesn't seem to work.

Solution:

With 4.2 the Personalities were changed to allow you to select a personality form the drop down menu in the From header, removing the need for an extra dialog box. You can create a new message or a reply with a stationery file and change the personality from the From header if necessary.

The shift key now has returned to its original function of toggling between reply and reply to all. It was never intended to be a feature to allow forward with stationery or redirect with stationery (as these two options are intended to preserve the original message), and this functionality was lost with the loss of the Message Options dialog.
