  • Eudora 7.1: problems with some attachments

    From ijones@jejejeje.it@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 17 21:22:52 2021
    Hi,
    I use Eudora 7.1 and it works fine even with attachments but some
    times I don't see them.
    For example:
    I put I listed an item on "Kijiji" and Kijiji asked me to confirm the
    email just sent. Yes, I received the email with the right title but it
    was completely blank, with no links or writings in the body of the
    message
    So I had to go to the web and open my message to be able to confirm
    that link. Why does this happen to me? This is not the first time. Can
    I solve this problem?
    Thank you

    Eudora does now have problems with some modern e-mail formats.
    The easiest workaround is to right click on the message and select "send to browser".
    That should open the message in your default web browser, which hopefully will be able to display it correctly.
    HTH.
    Cheers, Dave.

    You're not the only one. It happens to me occasionally.
    For security reasons I've deselected the option "Use
    Microsoft's viewer", but Eudora's internal HTML viewer.
    That one is heavily out of date though, so I'm not at
    all surprised it can't cope with "modern" HTML stuff
    in messages. So what I do is to open the mailbox file
    (e.g. in.mbx) with Notepad to see if I see something
    suspicious. If not, I use right-click / Send to browser
    in the "empty" message.

    Hi Dave, may be I don't understand. If my message is white, what have
    I to open with my browser?

    You should still be able to right click on it and select "Send to Browser" even if it's just displaying a white window.

    How do you enable Eudora's internal HTML viewer?

    I thought the only choice was between "Use Microsoft's viewer" or to
    see plain text.

    The internal viewer lets you see styled text, bulleted lists,
    indenting, margin adjustment, maybe a bit more... but not always as
    intended given some additions to HTML since development on Eudora
    stoppped.

    And if you don't automatically download HTML graphics you avoid all
    the web beacons that are sent by both legitimate (for some definition
    of the term) newsletters and other commercial entities as well as
    spammers.

    I have never heard of a native Eudora HTML viewer. When I disable "Use Microsoft's Viewer" in Options all I seem to see is plain text.

    If you don't have "Use Microsoft's viewer" checked, you are using Eudora's internal viewer.
    This is not a plain text viewer, but it only has very limited HTML support, which results in many modern format messages looking a complete mess in it! Generally you're better off now using the "Microsoft Viewer", which is actually Internet Explorer's
    HTML rendering engine.
    Even this now has problems sometimes unfortunately, especially if you're on an old version of Windows.

    None, except for *not* ticking the "Use Microsoft's viewer" in
    the "Message Window" under Tools > Options > Viewing Mail

    I have never heard of a native Eudora HTML viewer.

    The Eudora manual doesn't speak about "HTML viewer", but "Eudora
    lets you view incoming mail with advanced formatting, graphics,
    multimedia, and the like". In common speak that's a HTML viewer,
    but a very limited one. For using the full glory and threats of
    HTML you can right-click on a message *you trust* to send it to
    your default browser.

    When I disable "Use Microsoft's Viewer" in Options all I seem to
    see is plain text.

    Then the message is in plain text or Eudora's primitive HTML
    viewer is incapable of (fully) rendering it. I've seen quite a
    lot of such cases, and it's increasing.
