Two ideas:

Is this the correct way to set the message text--set field ""?

Also: if your message contains quotation marks, then this is going to
throw off Eudora, because AppleScript will see them as terminating the
string which you are setting "" to. So, you'll need to escape them, maybe
$msg =~ s/"/\\"/g;

Also, I'm not sure how AS feels about multiple lines in a string--do you
need continuation characters, or some other mechanism?

I hope one of these helps.

If not, one more clarification request: how does it fail? Do you get an
error message from Eudora or MacPerl, or does it work except for a null
message? (In other words, I don't see anything blatantly wrong, so we'll
need the details to help further.)
