All,
I am runnning Eudora 6.2.4 / MacOS X 10.4.ff here in light mode, and it
gives me a few headaches which I don't really know how to tackle. I have
even deleted the preferences file, and manually reconstructed my
configuration, but without effect.
First one is f=f ("format=flowed"):
It used to be that Eudora gave you grey bars marking quoted passages in
f=f mails. Those bars seem to have gone away at some point. But on top
of that, 6.2.4 here does not even properly wrap quoted paragraphs when
replying to f=f mails - I see a '>' at the beginning of the paragraph,
and have to wrap it by marking and 'Edit::Wrap Selection'. I don't care
much either way about the grey bars, but having to wrap quoted passages
by hand is 'late eighties'. No amount of twiddling x-eudora settings
fixes that for me.
Second one is related, replying to HTML mail:
As I found out a while back, all versions of Eudora silently do away
with the plain text part of a multipart message, and only offer the HTML
part. This gets obviously painful with the proliferation of CSS, where
the first page of a mail as displayed by Eudora is filled with
gibberish.
Now, when I reply to a HTML mail, the quoted passages get a black side
bar in the composition window. But, since it is a Light version, no HTML
is sent out, instead the passages that were displayed as quoted are
silently inlined! Not even Copy & Paste as Quotation seems to help here
since the text retains any markup in the clipboard. This seems to be a
partial spill-over of HTML mail functionality from the full/sponsored
feature set, which I am not keen on.
What are your experiences? Any workarounds, fixes?
Thanks,
hauke
