Whats New in this Release
What is New in this Release

This release of Eudora Light for Windows includes the following new features:

•	A native, fully compatible 32-bit version for the Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems.

•	Context-sensitive on-line Help that lets you click on items in the user interface to read brief explanations of what the items do.

•	Active URLs that automatically open your World Wide Web browser and go to the selected URL
(Uniform Resource Locator).

•	New Dialup options for dialup connections.

•	A Miscellaneous option for switching messages using the Ctrl+arrow keys.

•	A floating toolbar you can place anywhere on your desktop (only in the 32-bit version).

•	A New Mail  icon for the Task Bar Tray that displays the number of new messages
(only in the 32-bit version under Windows 95).


What has Changed in this Release

This release of Eudora Light for Windows includes the following changes from version 1.5.2:

•	The Eudora functions that were in the Window menu are now in a new Tools menu.

•	The Settings dialog is now called Options and is in the new Tools menu.

•	In the Nicknames window, you can use the right mouse button to toggle nicknames on and off of the Quick Recipient List. You can no longer do this using the left mouse button.


 Win32s Compatibility

If you are running Win32s, we suggest using the 16-bit version of Eudora Light for Windows. If you must run the 32-bit version of Eudora under Win32s, be sure  to run Win32s version 1.3 or later.


Using Active URLs

Any string of text that Eudora recognizes as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator: http, ftp, gopher, ph, finger,  etc.) is active. When you hold the mouse over the URL the arrow changes to a pointing hand, and you can double-click on it to open the URL. Depending on what the URL is, you can go to a World Wide Web location, transfer a file, do a gopher search, use the finger tool, etc.

For most URLs your Web browser is opened and acts on the URL. For ph, finger, and mailto URLs, Eudora acts on the URL and displays the Ph window or a new outgoing message.

Any file can be attached to and sent with a Eudora message.  To attach a file to a current outgoing message, do the following:

1.	From the Message menu select Attach Document...
A standard file dialog is displayed.

2.	Locate and select the file you want to attach, then click on the OK button.

The file is listed in the Attachments: field of the message. You can add as many files as you want using the same process.

To delete an attachment, click on it to select it, then press the [delete] key.

To set various options for how you receive attachments, select Settings... from the Special menu and click on the Attachments category.


Creating Signatures
Creating a Signature

A signature is a brief message that is automatically added to the end of outgoing messages. It can include your name, address, telephone number, or whatever you want it to.

To create a signature, do the following:

1.	Select Signature from the Tools menu.
The Signature window is displayed so that you can create or edit your signature.

2.	Close the Signature window. An alert is displayed asking if you want to save your changes. Click Yes.

To include your signature in your messages, use the signature combo box on the message window, or the Use Signature option in the Sending Mail Options category.


Checking For Mail Manually

To check for incoming mail, do the following:

1.	From the File menu select Check Mail.

2.	If Eudora asks for your password, type it in the Password dialog and click OK (Eudora passwords are "case-sensitive").

3.	If there is no new mail, a "no mail" alert is displayed; click OK.
(If you have the Alert setting turned off in the Getting Attention category, there is no dialog.)

4.	If you have new mail, Eudora transfers the messages one by one and then displays a "New Mail" alert; click OK.

5.	New messages are delivered to your In mailbox. This mailbox opens automatically and your new message summaries are added to the end of the mailbox list. Double-click a message summary to open it.


Checking For Mail Automatically

To set up automatic mail checking, do the following:

1.	From the Tools menu, select Options.... The Options dialog is  displayed.

2.	Select the Checking Mail category.

3.	In the Check For Mail Every ? Minute(s) field, type the number of minutes between automatic mail checks (15 is the recommended minimum interval).

4.	Click OK to close the Options dialog.

5.	Eudora automatically checks for mail at the interval you have requested.

Note:	When automatic mail checking is on, the time of the next mail check is listed next to the Check Mail command under the File menu.


Setting Up Filters
Setting Up a Filter

Eudoras message filtering lets you automatically organize and modify incoming messages based on the attributes of the message. To create a filter, do the following:

1.	Select Filters from the Tools menu. The Filters window is displayed.

2.	Click on the New button. (Eudora will name the filter based on the criteria.)

3.	Check Incoming or Outgoing to specify what messages the filter should act on, and check Manual if you dont want the messages filtered automatically. (Select Filter Messages from the Special menu to filter Manual messages.)

4.	Specify the filter terms: What part of the message to look at, what text to look for, and how that text behaves in the specified message part.

5.	Specify a second set of filter terms if you need to.

6.	Specify the action to be taken on filtered messages: A subject, label, or priority change, or a mailbox transfer.

7.	Select Save from the File menu, or close the Filters window and click OK in the alert that is displayed.


Replying to a Message

You reply to a message when you want to respond to its sender.

1.	Select or open the message you want to reply to.

2.	From the Message menu, select Reply to display a new composition window. Eudora completes the To:, From:, and Subject: fields based on the original message.

Eudora also copies the text of the original message into the reply. Each line from the original message is preceded by a ">" marker. The ">" markers offset the original text, so readers can distinguish your text from the text you're replying to.

3.	Remove those parts of the original text that you don't want to include in your reply and type in your own text.

4.	Once your response is completed, click Send (or Queue).

Tip: 	If you want to address the reply to everyone who received the original message (and not just the sender), hold down the [Shift] key when you select Reply from the Message menu.


Forwarding a Message

You forward a message when you want someone else to see it.

1.	Select or open the message you want to forward.

2.	From the Message menu, select Forward to display a new composition window. Eudora completes the Subject: field based on the original message and transfers the header and body of the original message to the new message body. Each line is preceded by a ">" marker.

3.	Type the addresses of the people you want to forward the message to in the To: field.

4.	The existing text may be edited, and more text may be added to the message.

5.	Once the editing is completed, click Send (or Queue).


Redirecting a Message

Eudora's Redirect command lets you send a message that was sent to you to someone else, while allowing the recipient of the redirected message to reply directly to the original sender.

1.	Select or open the message you want to redirect.

2.	From the Message menu, select Redirect to display a new composition window. Eudora completes the From: field with the address of the originator and the words "by way of" followed by your address. The Subject: field and message body are also completed based on the original message.

3.	Type the addresses of the people to whom you wish to redirect the message in the To: field.

4.	The existing text may be edited, and more text may be added to the message.

5.	Once the editing is completed, click Send (or Queue).

Note:	E-mail courtesy suggests that you not do much editing of the message you're redirecting. If you must add comments, put them in []s with your initials, like: [Don: please reply to this right away. SD]


Transferring a Message

1.	Select or open the message you want to transfer.

2.	Select the name of the mailbox you want to transfer it to from the Transfer menu (if you hold down the [Shift] key while transferring a message, a copy of the message is transferred and the original message remains in the original mailbox).

Tip: 	You can create a new mailbox and transfer a message into it all in one step. Instead of selecting an existing mailbox, select New... from the Transfer menu.

Tip: 	If you transfer a message and decide you put it in the wrong mailbox, select Undo Transfer from the Edit menu.


Deleting a Message

There are four ways to delete a message or messages, as follows:

1.	Select or open the message you want to delete. Select Delete from the Message menu.

2.	In an open mailbox window, select the message(s) you want to delete. Press the [Delete] key.

3.	In an open mailbox window, select the message(s) you want to delete. Click the trash can icon on the main window toolbar.

4.	Select or open the message you want to delete. Select Trash from the Transfer menu.

Note:	All deleted messages are put into the Trash mailbox. You can set an option to automatically empty the Trash mailbox when you quit Eudora.


Changing Your Password

1.	Select Change Password from the Special menu to display the Password dialog.

Note:	The Change Password command will only work if you have the necessary software on your server.

2.	Type in your current password and click OK.

3.	Eudora asks you to type in your new password and click OK.

4.	To verify the change, type in your new password again and click OK.

5.	If your new password is rejected, repeat steps 1 through 4.


Creating, Renaming, and Removing Nicknames

Nicknames are personal aliases for full e-mail addresses. A single nickname can be used to represent a mailing list.

1.	Select Nicknames from the Tools menu. The Nicknames window is displayed.

2.	To create a new nickname, click the New button. To rename a nickname, select the nickname then click the Rename button.

3.	Type the nickname title in the Nickname dialog, put it on the recipient list if you want, and click OK.

4.	Type the full e-mail address(es) in the Address(es) field.

5.	If you have any comments related to the nickname, type these in the Notes field.

6. 	To remove a nickname, select it, then click the Remove button.

7.	Select Save from the File menu to save the nicknames file, or close the Nicknames window and save the changes.

Note:	You can use a nickname in a mailing list. However, that nickname must be created individually in the Nicknames window.


Accessing a Nicknames File on a Server

Eudora can now be configured to access a nicknames file (or files) on a network server. A new entry may been added to the EUDORA.INI file called ExtraNicknameDirs. Add this entry to the[Settings] section of the EUDORA.INI file, followed by the directory that contains the nicknames file (or files), and it will locate this directory and add the nicknames file(s) to the Nicknames window. To add nicknames files from different directories, list the directories after the ExtraNicknameDirs command and separate them by a semicolon (;).


EUDORA.INI Settings File

The EUDORA.INI file is where Eudora keeps most of the settings.  It is a standard Windows INI file, and may be edited with any text editor.

Note:	Since Windows caches information from INI files in memory while the program is running, you should never change the EUDORA.INI file while Eudora is in use.  If you need to make a change, first quit Eudora, then edit the file, and then restart Eudora.

The EUDORA.INI file is broken up into 5 sections:

[Settings]

[Dialup]

[Window Position]

[Debug]

[Mappings]

Only the items that are not configurable from the Settings dialog are listed here.

Name and Location of the INI File

The default name is EUDORA.INI and the default location is in the mail directory.  But the name and location can be changed.

To specify a different INI file from the EUDORA.INI that is not in the mail directory, add a second parameter to the command line in the Program Item for Eudora, e.g.

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe c:\mymail c:\inis\myeudora.ini

To use a different INI file that is in the mail directory:

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe c:\mymail myeudora.ini

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe c:\mymail\myeudora.ini

This is a way to have multiple settings for one set of mailboxes, nicknames, etc.  For example, you may have multiple e-mail accounts in which you receive mail, but want to collect mail from all of the accounts in one place.  You could set up separate Program Items for each account (each having a different INI file on the command line), and switching between accounts would be as simple as double-clicking on a Program Item.

And for an even more tricky specification, if the first parameter is an INI filename without a path, then the mail directory is searched through the normal process of checking the EUDORA environment variable and then using the executable directory.

Examples:

SET EUDORA=c:\mymail

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe myeudora.ini

will use c:\mymail as the mail directory and c:\mymail\myeudora.ini as the INI file.

SET EUDORA=myeudora.ini

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe

will use c:\apps as the mail directory and c:\apps\myeudora.ini as the INI file.

Default INI file

When an entry in the EUDORA.INI file is not found, Eudora will look in the DEUDORA.INI file located in the same directory as the EUDORA.EXE file. The [Mappings] section of the DEUDORA.INI file acts as though it was appended to the end of the [Mappings] section of the EUDORA.INI file.


[Dialup]

The [Dialup] section controls the use of the dialup connection method.  See "Appendix E - Dialup Eudora" in the manual for more detailed information.

Entry	Default Value	Description
ATSendDelay	100	The delay between sending characters in a modem AT command and in the EchoCancelString (in milliseconds).

TelnetCommand	telnet {System} {Port}\r\n	Telnet command issued to use the network services (i.e. POP, SMTP, ph, finger, and Eudora password changer).


[Debug]

The [Debug] section controls aspects of the Eudora log file.  The Eudora log file is a handy tool for debugging network connections, especially when using the dialup connection method.

Entry	Default Value	Description
LogFileName	EUDORA.LOG	The name of the log file.
LogFileSize	100	The size of the log file (in KB) when it will be copied to the file EUDORLOG.OLD and a new log file will be started.

[Mappings]

This is a sample [Mappings] section.  It is NOT a default for Eudora if you have a missing/empty [Mappings] section.  The [Mappings] section contains information for mapping between PC file extensions, Mac creator and type, and MIME type and subtype for attachment files (in that order).  Entries marked as "in" work only on incoming messages and entries marked as "out" work only on outgoing messages.  Entries marked "both" work on both incoming and outgoing messages.

The matching is done on a prefix basis, so any header that begins with one of these values will not be shown.
TabStop	8	How many spaces to insert for a <Tab> in the body of a composition message.
TimeZone		This should contain the time zone in which you are located, in the following format: TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e those that are east of GMT should enter a negative number here).  xxx is the timezone during Standard Time and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time.  If you do not change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank.  Here's some samples: TimeZone=PST8PDT TimeZone=MET-1 If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put in outgoing messages, which is fine for most because their mail server will insert the correct Date: header.  The moral is: if you don't get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the TimeZone entry alone.
TraceWindowMask	31	Log level of information that gets sent to the Trace window (see the [Debug] section).
TocDateLeeway	2	Number of seconds that the date on a mailbox .TOC file can be behind the .MBX file that Eudora will not flag as being out of date. Helpful for network file systems.
UnreadExpires	5	The number of days after which a message is no longer used to determine if a mailbox has unread messages in it.
URLHelper		Full path of application used to launch URLs.
UsePOPSend	0	If UsePOPSend is on, Eudora will send mail using the POP3 extended command XTND XMIT.  Since this is an optional command for POP3, many POP3 servers do not support this command (Berkeley's popper, however, does).  There are pros and cons to using POP3 to send your mail.  It provides a level of security since it requires a username/password pair to send mail messages, unlike SMTP.  It is faster than SMTP, especially when checking for new mail at the same time.  It doesn't check for valid recipients until the entire message is sent, and some implementations (Berkeley's popper, for example) won't tell you which recipients are invalid and will send the message to the valid recipients anyway.
UserChangeLex	uchange.tlx	Filename of user-defined list of words to change when spell checking.
UserIgnoreLex	uignore.tlx	Filename of user-defined list of words to ignore when spell checking.
UserSuggestLex	usuggest.tlx	Filename of user-defined list of words to suggest when spell checking.
WordWrapColumn	76	Column in which lines are wrapped at in outgoing messages when the Word wrap switch is on.
WordWrapMax	80	Length at which a line is considered too long, and must be wrapped in outgoing messages when the Word wrap switch is on.

If you enter an address in this field, first test the address to be sure that mail sent to it is indeed delivered to you. If you use an invalid return address, no one can reply to your mail.


Dialup username:

Specifies your dialup user name.

Enter your dialup user name if it is different from your POP account. This is necessary if you are using Eudora directly through a modem without the benefit of TCP/IP software, and you have a secondary user name for use during the dialup process (this might be used as your login name to a terminal server, for example). See Appendix E of your user manual for details regarding how this field can be used.


SMTP:

Specifies the name of the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server computer.

Enter the name of your SMTP server if it is different from the machine that is running your POP server. You do not need a login name on this computer, but you must have access to it through your network.


Ph:

Specifies the name of the machine running your Ph server.

Enter the machine name, or leave the field blank.


Finger:

Specifies the name of the machine running your finger server.

Enter the machine name, or leave the field blank. If you leave it blank, Eudora uses your SMTP server as your finger server.


POP account:

Specifies the name of your account on your POP server.


Check for mail every ? minutes

Specifies how often Eudora checks the POP server for new mail.

Enter 0 to disable automatic checking, or any number of minutes.

It's a good idea to set this at no less than 15 minutes. Checking mail more frequently puts an unnecessary drain on your POP server. This option only works when Eudora is running.


Skip messages over ? K

If this is checked, messages over the specified size are downloaded with only the first few lines of the message body. This can be useful on slow connections.

To download the entire message, click on the Fetch icon in the message and select Check Mail from the Find menu.


Send on check

If this is checked, any messages that are queued in the Out mailbox are sent when Eudora checks the POP Server for new mail.


Save password

If this is checked, your password is stored in Eudora and you never have to enter it again, even if you exit Eudora and restart.

Only use this option if your PC is in a secure place.


Leave mail on server

If this is checked, incoming messages are transferred to your PC and also left on the server. (Normally your mail is transferred, then deleted from the POP server.)

This option works in conjunction with the Delete from server after ? days, Determine first unread message by, and Delete from server when emptied from Trash options.


Delete from server after ? days

If this is checked, any mail left on the server (using the Leave mail on server option) will be deleted after the specified number of days.

It is a good idea not to leave copies of your messages on the server indefinitely, as this will create mail storage problems on the server.


Determine first unread message by:

These options specify what determines an unread message.


First message not read by this machine

Specifies that any message not previously read by this machine is considered unread.


Status: headers

Specifies that any message not identified as read in the message Status: header is considered unread.


POP3 LAST command

Specifies that any message after the LAST downloaded message is considered unread.

This method is more efficient than the Status: headers method when connecting to a POP server that supports the LAST command.


Delete from server when emptied from Trash

If this is checked, all messages that you have deleted from your trash mailbox are also deleted from the server.

This only applies to messages that were transferred to your PC under the Leave mail on server option. Normally Eudora deletes a message from the server immediately after the message is transferred.


Authentication Style

These options specify the authentication style. Ask your e-mail administrator which one is being used at your site.


Authentication Style

Specifies the authentication style. Ask your e-mail administrator which one is being used at your site.


Return address:

Specifies a return address other than your POP account.


 Domain to add to unqualified names:

Specifies a domain to be added to unqualified names.

An unqualified name is one that doesn't have an "@" sign followed by a domain name. If you address a message to someone without including their domain name, Eudora automatically adds this domain to that address. This setting can be used as a time-saving device when addressing large numbers of messages to users who reside in the same domain.


SMTP server:

Specifies the name of the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server computer.

Enter the name of your SMTP server if it is differnet from the machine that is running your POP server. You do not need a login name on this computer, but you must have access to it through your network.


Immediate send

If this is checked, all send options are set to Send Immediately.

If this is not checked, messages are saved in the Out mailbox and marked Q (queued for delivery).

Send options include the rightmost button in the icon bar of the message composition window and the Send Immediately option in the Message menu.


Send on check

If this is checked, all the messages marked Q in the Out mailbox are sent when Eudora checks the POP server for new mail.


Word wrap

If this is checked, carriage returns are automatically inserted to make  lines that are a maximum of 76 characters.

The carriage returns are added in the send process, so until you send the message the lines will display the full width of your message window.


Fix curly quotes

If this is checked, all "smart" quotation marks in message text or attachments are replaced with "conventional" quotation marks.

If your recipients have MIME, there's no reason to use this option. Only turn it on if most of the people you correspond with don't use MIME.

The "smart" quotation marks are special characters, and this option allows messages to be sent without using quoted-printable encoding.


May use Quoted-Printable

If this is checked, Eudora uses quoted-printable encoding when necessary, such as when messages that contain long lines of text or special characters are sent.

If this is not checked, quoted-printable encoding is never used.


Keep copies of outgoing mail

If this is checked, a copy of each message you send is saved  in the Out mailbox and marked  S.

If this is not checked, Eudora moves outgoing messages to the Trash mailbox after they are sent.


Use signature

If this is checked, your Signature is automatically attached to the end of outgoing messages.

You can turn this off for specific messages by selecting None in the Signuature combo box of the outgoing message window.


Tabs in body of message

If this is checked, when you enter the [tab] key within the message body, spaces are inserted to create a tab space.

 If this is not checked, the [tab] key moves you through the fields of the message window.


Encoding Method:

These options specify what encoding method should be used with attached files.


MIME

If this is checked, documents attached to outgoing messages are encoded in MIME.

MIME is best for recipients with MIME.


BinHex

If this is checked, documents attached to outgoing messages are encoded in BinHex.

BinHex is best for recipients with old Macintosh mailers and previous versions of Eudora.


Uuencode

If this is checked, documents attached to outgoing messages are encoded in Uuencode Data Fork.

Uuencode is best for communicating with older PC or UNIX systems.


Put text attachments in body of message

If this is checked, plain text documents that are attached to an outoing message are sent in the message body. They are not sent as attachments.


Attachment Directory:

Specifies what directory your incoming attachments will be put in.

To change the directory, single-click on the directory name button (the default is blank). A dialog is displayed allowing you to select the attachment destination directory.

If you do not select an attachment directory, attachments are placed in your Eudora directory.


Delete attachments when emptying Trash

If this is checked, attachments are deleted when their corresponding messages are deleted from the Trash (or the Trash is emptied).

The attachment must be in the directory defined as the Attachments Directory.

If you want to save an attachment but delete the message, move the attachment to another directory or leave this option off.


Screen Font:

Specifies the font and point size to be used for displaying the text of your Eudora messages and mailbox windows.

To change the selection, click on this button. The Font dialog is displayed so that you can select a new font and size.


Print Font:

Specifies the font and point size to be used when printing messages using the Print... command.

To change the selection, click on this button. The Font dialog is displayed so that you can select a new font and size.


Message window width:

Specifies the width of new and received message windows (in characters). The default  is 80.

This setting has no effect on what your mail looks like when it is sent. When mail is sent, Eudora wraps at or before 76 characters.

If you use a proportional font, Eudora sets the window width based on the average width of the characters in the font.


Message window height:

Specifies the height of new and received message windows (in lines). The default value is 20.

If the Zoom windows when opening option is turned on, received message window heights are automatically adjusted to the height of the message text.


Zoom windows when opening

If this is checked, new windows automatically sized to display their contents without empty space.

The zoomed size is computed on a window-by-window basis. For message windows, zoomed size is just long enough to display all of the message (but no longer than the main window), and as wide as the Message Window Width setting. Composition windows zoom to the height specified by the Message Window Height setting.


Show all headers (even the ugly ones)

If this is checked, the complete message header of incoming messages is displayed, including the routing information.

If dont want to leave this option on but want to see all headers for an specific incoming message, click on the BLAH, BLAH, BLAH icon in the message icon bar.


Show toolbar

If this is checked, the main window toolbar is displayed.


Show toolbar tips

If this is checked, holding the mouse pointer over a button in the main window toolbar displays a very brief description of that button's function.


Show status bar

If this is checked, a status bar is displayed at the bottom of the main window. The status bar provides a brief description of menu items and toolbar buttons.


Show category icons

If this is checked, the Options categories are presented with  icons and the name.

If this is not checked, the categoris are presented with just the name.


Labels

The Labels options define the title and color of the seven labels that can be used to categorize messages. To change a label title, type the new title in the field to the right of the label number. To change a label color, single-click on the label number to display the Color dialog.

In the Color Dialog, you can select from one of the pre-defined Basic Colors or create your own Custom Colors. To assign a basic color to a label, select the color and click OK. To create a custom color, click the Define Custom Colors button to display the custom colors palette.

To define a custom color, select one of the 16 custom color boxes. Using the mouse pointer, click anywhere on the color palette to select the color Hue and Saturation. Use the color control bar to the right of the color palette to adjust the color. When you are satisfied with the color, click the Add to Custom Colors button. Once you have completed creating the custom colors, select the desired label color and click OK.


Use an alert dialog box

If this is checked, an alert dialog notifies you when you have new mail.


Open mailbox

If this is checked, mailboxes are opened when new mail is received, and the first unread message is highlighted.


Play a sound

If this is checked, Eudora plays the sound when new mail  arrives.

To select a sound (.wav) file, click on the Play a sound button. The Select Sound File dialog dialog is displayed so that you can select a sound.


Select Sound File

Specifies the sound file to be played when new mail arrives.

To select a sound (.wav) file, click on this button. The Select Sound File dialog dialog is displayed so that you can select a sound.


Reply to all (otherwise when Shift is down)

If this is checked, when you do a Reply the message includes every recipient of the original message, not just the sender.

If this is not checked, the reply is only addressed to the original sender. If this option is off you can hold down the [Shift] key while selecting Reply to generate a reply to all  recipients.


When Replying to all:

These options specify how a reply message will be generated.


Include yourself

If this (and Reply to all) is checked, when you do a Reply the reply includes your address so that you receive a copy of your own reply.

If this is not checked, the reply does not include your address and you do not receive a copy. (Unless you have checked Keep copies of outgoing mail  in the Sending Mail  category.)


Put original To: recipients in Cc: field

If this (and Reply to all) is checked, when you do a Reply the reply includes the addresses of the original message recipients in the Cc: field. The To: field contains only the address of the original sender.


Copy original's priority to reply

If this is checked, when you do a Reply the reply has the same priority as the original message.


Dialup username:

Specifies your dialup user name.

Enter your dialup user name if it is different from your POP account. This is necessary if you are using Eudora directly through a modem without the benefit of TCP/IP software, and you have a secondary user name for use during the dialup process (this might be used as your login name to a terminal server, for example). See Appendix E of your user manual for details regarding how this field can be used.


Phone number:

Specifies the telephone number for your terminal server.

Enter the number, and be sure to include any necessary prefixes to get an outside line, turn off call-waiting, etc.


Modem:

Specifies your modem type.

Select your modem from the popup or, if your modem is not listed among those available, select *Default:Hayes (unreliable transfers).

While the default modem functions in many cases, you may experience data corruption when sending or receiving messages. To configure Eudora for a reliable connection using the default modem, you must modify the SERIAL.MOD dialup file, as described in Appendix E of the user manual.


Baud rate:

Specifies your baud rate.

Select the value that corresponds with your modem speed.


COM port:

Specifies the COM port that your modem is connected to on your PC.

Select the appropriate port.


Flow Control:

Specifies the modem flow control.

Flow control is the ability of the modem and PC to stop the data flow before the internal buffers fill up and overflow. The modem may use either hardware or software flow control (software flow control is typically the modem default setting), but hardware is preferred and strongly recommended at baud rates above 9600. If your modem does not support hardware flow control, then you must use software flow control. Software flow control, however, does not work well at speeds above 9600 baud.


Data bits:

Specifies a terminal server setting. The default value is correct for almost all cases. Consult with your local Eudora support coordinator or service provider before you change this value.


Stop bits:

Specifies a terminal server setting. The default value is correct for almost all cases. Consult with your local Eudora support coordinator or service provider before you change this value.


Parity:

Specifies a terminal server setting. The default value is correct for almost all cases. Consult with your local Eudora support coordinator or service provider before you change this value.


Service provider:

Specifies the service provider whose terminal server Eudora is connecting to.

If your service provider is listed among those available, select it. If not, select *Default (must modify).

The default service provider will not function until the SERIAL.NAV dialup file is modified to work with your service provider, as described in Appendix E of the user manual.


Dialup timeout after ? seconds

Specifies the number of seconds before a dialup connection will time out. The default is 60.

Change the number of seconds if you want more time before the connection will time out.


CRLF Processing

If this is checked, Eudoras cr/lf processing is on.

Telnet programs routinely translate carriage returns into carriage return (cr)/ linefeed (lf) pairs. For this reason, Eudora processes cr/lf pairs to plain carriage returns by default. If your terminal server does not translate carriage returns to cr/lf pairs, or you are running srialpop to establish an echoless session (as described in Appendix E of the user manual), Eudora's cr/lf processing must be disabled. This can be done by turning this option off.


Show trace window

If this is checked, the Trace Window is opened automatically at the beginning of the dialup session.

The Trace Window follows what Eudora is sending, expecting, and the characters returned to Eudora. The Trace Window is a valuable troubleshooting tool because when there is an error during the dialup process, the window displays the source of the error.


Ignore capitalized words

If this is checked, words that start with capital letters, such as proper nouns, are ignored.


Ignore words with numbers

If this is checked, words that contain numbers are ignored.


Ignore words with mixed case

If this is checked, words that contain both upper and lower case characters are ignored.


Report words with mixed case

If this is checked, words that contain both upper and lower case characters are reported and identified as Mixed case.


Report doubled words

If this is checked, words that appear twice in sequence in text are reported and identified as Doubled words.


Always suggest

If this is checked, Eudora's suggestions for the correct spelling of an unknown word are displayed  in the Suggestions field by default.


Ignore Original Text

If this is checked, any text that is preceded by a > is ignored.  Eudora assumes that this text was originally from another message, and therefore does not need to be checked.


Switch messages with:

These options specify what keys can be used to quickly open and close message windows.


Unmodified arrow keys

If this is checked, the keyboard arrow keys can be used to close the current message and open the next or previous message in the mailbox.

The up or left arrow key opens the previous message; the down or right arrow key opens the next message. If this option is off, the arrow keys can be used to move the caret in messages.

Even if Unmodified arrow keys is on, the arrow keys do not switch messages if there is a message composition window topmost on the screen.


Ctrl+arrow keys

If this is checked, you can switch between open messages by holding down the [Ctrl] key and then pressing the arrow keys.


Alt+arrow keys

If this is checked, you can switch between open messages by holding down the [Alt] key and then pressing the arrow keys.


Require confirmation for deletes

If this is checked, you are alerted when you delete messages you haven't read, or when you transfer queued messages out of the Out mailbox.


Close messages with mailbox

If this is checked, all open messages are closed when you close the mailbox they are in.


Empty Trash when exiting

If this is checked, the Trash mailbox is emptied every time you exit Eudora.

If this is not checked, the Trash is only emptied when you select Empty Trash from the Special menu.

If you want to remove some messages from the Trash mailbox but don't want to empty it entirely, highlight the summaries you want to delete and select Delete from the Message menu. The selected messages are deleted.


Say OK to alerts after ? seconds

If this is checked and a number of seconds is specified, any notices of network problems are dismissed after the specified number of seconds.

If this is not checked, notices are left in place and Eudora cannot try the communication again until you dismiss the alert.


Turbo redirect by default

If this is checked, a Redirect to Recipient command does the following:

Opens a redirected message to the selected recipient

Queues the new message

Deletes the original message

To turn this option on or off (regardless of this setting), hold down the [Shift] key while selecting a redirect recipient.


Automatically open next message

If this is checked, the next unread message is opened when you delete or transfer the current message.


Use asynchronous Winsock calls for

These options specify how Winsock calls are made using a TCP/IP stack. If you're experiencing trouble with your Winsock connection, make sure both of these options are off.


All non-database functions

Specifies asynchronous Winsock calls for all non-database functions.

There are two methods of making Winsock calls using TCP/IP stacks, blocking and asynchronous. Because of the ability to handle error conditions more gracefully, asynchronous is the preferred method when using Eudora. However, some TCP/IP stacks do not handle asynchronous calls correctly. If you're experiencing trouble with your Winsock connection, make sure both of these options are off.


Database functions

Specifies asynchronous Winsock calls for database functions.

There are two methods of making Winsock calls using TCP/IP stacks, blocking and asynchronous. Because of the ability to handle error conditions more gracefully, asynchronous is the preferred method when using Eudora. However, some TCP/IP stacks do not handle asynchronous calls correctly. If you're experiencing trouble with your Winsock connection, make sure both of these options are off.


Network timeout after ? seconds

Specifies the number of seconds before a network connection will time out.


Network buffer size of ? bytes

Specifies the size of the buffer that Eudora uses to transfer information to and from the server.

If you are having trouble transferring large messages, the size of this buffer may be decreased.


Cache network info

If this is checked, Eudora remembers the results of previous database functions when using the Winsock connection method.

This speeds up database functions within a single Eudora session.


Use Eudora MAPI server:

These options specify when the Eudora MAPI server should run.


Never

If this is checked, the Eudora MAPI server is off and is never automatically opened.


Always

If this is checked, the Eudora MAPI server is on and is always opened on startup.


When Eudora is running

If this is checked, the Eudora MAPI server is on when Eudora is running.


Delete MAPI attachments:

These options specify when MAPI attachments should be deleted.


Never

If this is checked, MAPI attachements are never deleted.

MAPI attachments are copied into the Attach directory (or a directory you have specified) when they are sent. If you want to save them, use this option.


After sending message

If this is checked, MAPI attachements are deleted after their corresponding messages are sent.

MAPI attachments are copied into the Attach directory (or a directory you have specified) when they are sent. If you do not want to save them, use this option.


When message is emptied from trash

If this is checked, MAPI attachements are deleted after their corresponding messages are emptied from the trash.

MAPI attachments are copied into the Attach directory (or a directory you have specified) when they are sent. If you do not want to save them after their corresponding messages have been deleted, use this option.


Kerberos POP3 port:

Specifies the port that the Kerberos POP server is listening on.


Realm:

Specifies the network realm that the Kerberos server resides in.


Service name:

Specifies the type of service that you're requesting.


Service format:

Specifies the name of the ticket that Eudora requests from the Kerberos server.
