Buffer overflow requires shutdown of Eudora

I have Windows XP and am using Eudora 7.0.1. in sponsored mode. A recent attempt to obtain mail crashed my computer with a flashed message stating that Eudora had detected a buffer overflow which could be exploited to compromise the security of my computer. Information was being written to a Eudora CrashDump.dmp file which I have been unable to read. I am further offered the options of "Cancel" which doesn't work or Quit which shuts down Eudora completely.

Eudora is now unusable and I have been unable to learn how to undo or otherwise correct this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

war1, the 4th item in the list of solutions you sent regarding files with .rcv extensions was the right one. Removing them worked.
Thanks again, elebourd
