Eudora Options for Safe Viewing

 
Tech Tips Mac Windows WWW Everyone 

Aside from social engineering -- which is the most important ingredient -- safe email viewing in Eudora is mostly a matter of setting a few options. Do this by selecting Tools, then Options, then the following Categories.

These are specifically for Windows; there are similar options for Macs.

Display:

Uncheck: Automatically download HTML graphics
(If you receive a message that you want to see the graphics in, say an advertisement from a store that you like to shop at, open the message, right-click in the message body, and select Send to Browser from the Context menu. Eudora will warn you of your folly and give you another chance to change your mind.)

Uncheck Use Microsoft's viewer
Preview Pane box:
