• formatting java(?) displayed on incoming mail.

    From john2881943@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 28 04:31:18 2017
    I get all the formating instructions displayed on my incoming mail making it almost impossible to read the message.

    Here's an example:

    "From: "Inchcape Volkswagen Exeter" <volkswagen@inchcapecrm.co.uk>

    @media only screen and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { [class~="mxm-mobile-hide"] { display: none !important } img[class~="mxm-image"] { width: 100% !important; height: auto !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-textalign-left"
    ] { text-align: left !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-align-left"] > *, [class~="mxm-mobile-align-left"] > a > * { margin-left: 0 !important; margin-right: auto !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-textalign-center"] { text-align: center !important; } [
    class~="mxm-mobile-align-center"] > *, [class~="mxm-mobile-align-center"] > a > * { margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-textalign-right"] { text-align: right !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-align-right"] >
    *, [class~="mxm-mobile-align-right"] > a > * { margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: 0 !important; } td[class~="4Column-columnorder1"] { float:left; } td[class~="4Column-columnorder2"] { float:left;clear:both; } td[class~="4Column-mobile-100"] {
    width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } td[class~="1Column-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } td[class~="2Column-5050-columnorder1"] { float:left; } td[class~="
    2Column-5050-columnorder2"] { float:left;clear:both; } td[class~="2Column-5050-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } td[class~="3Column-columnorder1"] { float:left; } td[class~="3Column-columnorder2"] {
    float:left;clear:both; } td[class~="3Column-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { table[class~="mobile-max-width"]
    {width:320px !important;} } .ReadMsgBody { width: 100%; } .ExternalClass { width: 100%; } html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
    * { mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; -moz-text-size-adjust: none; -ms-text-size-adjust: none; text-size-adjust: none; } .gmailfix { display:none; display:none!important; } a[x-apple-data-detectors] { color: inherit !
    important; text-decoration: none !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; line-height: inherit !important; }

    It never used to do this. I imagine I have turned it on somewhere without realising what I was doing but I can't work out where I can turn it off.

    Can anyone help?

    I no longer have access to Eudora, but could this be the result
    of having clicked on the Blah...Blah...Blah icon? I thought that
    only affected a single message, but maybe it's persistent.

    I've also seen Eudora freak on the encoding in some messages and
    display the encoding rather than the intended formatting, but if
    you're getting this on every message, it must be some setting.

    Here's an example:

    "From: "Inchcape Volkswagen Exeter" <volkswagen@inchcapecrm.co.uk>

    [snip lines of html]

    It's HTML, not java or javascript. Eudora was always rubbish at
    rendering HTML.

    [...]

    What you see is CSS (cascading style sheets), an add-on to HTML that
    separates document content from document markup, not unlike style sheets
    in word processors.

    The Eudora makers in their infinite wisom decided HTML was the end-all
    to email, so much that Eudora quietly dumps plain text sent along with
    HTML in a mail. And then they weren't able to keep up rendering what
    HTML turned into...

    Cheerio,
