    From Beo@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 17 09:54:20 2021
    Some of my emails come in a size too large to read. Is there an easy
    way to reduce the size down to where they are readable? Thanks

    What is "too large to read"? To me, it would imply a message that can't be displayed, not "I don't want to scroll through all this junk to find interesting parts".

    However... Tools/Options/ Content Concentrator might be what you want to look at.

    So large that 1 letter fills the whole window. I already use the
    concentrater so I guess we are not really on the same page here.

    The problem is something at the sender's end.

    The fastest way to make those messages readable is to
    scroll the message while holding down the Ctrl key. I think that this
    works only when you are using the MS viewer, not Eudora's internal
    viewer.

    Looks to me like the sender is using html and an insane font size.
    I'd try 'send to browser' then with repeated ctrl/- reduce the text
    size. I'd also copy the offending mail to the Junk folder and use
    notepad to see what the hell is going on in the mail body.

    BTW, I permanently have "Use Microsoft's viewer" off and use the
    latter procedure if I don't trust a mail, without opening the mail
    in Eudora. It's quite cute and revealing to read what blatant shit
    they're trying to threat to you with or "offer" you. By now I could
    have sexy Russian girls by the score. ;-)
