I'd like to migrate from Eudora to Thunderbird, but despite a webpage showing
screenshots showing options (on a Windows XP PC) for importing from
Outlook/Eudora/others to Thunderbird, I am not given the option of anything
other than Communicator 4.x. I cannot find a way to import my mail.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Import from the Tools menu
2. Select Mail from "Import what?" query
3. No Eudora (or Outlook, etc) options are listed

bug 182174 again ?

Looks like it might be; so this is actually an option in the full Mozilla suite
and I should download the Mozilla suite, import my mail, and then resume using
Thunderbird/Firefox? Has anyone tried that and had it work? (I didn't find that
bug in my search because I restricted my searching to the Thunderbird app since
I intended to file my bug there, so that one did not come up.)

You're using Windows, aren't you? (You don't specify, but Outlook/Express are
Windows-only. We Mac users get Entourage.)

Latest OS X nightly still only has Communicator.
