attachment

[Horace Greeley]

Anne, et al,

I can't speak for those using Eudora Light, but the Pro versions
(from 3.0 up, anyway), have a setting under Tools/Options/Attachments
which allows a couple of variations on dealing with attachments in
general.  While there does not seem to be a Win95 equivalent for redirecting
the vcards, one can choose to delete attachments when emptying the
trash - clumsy but effective.

We're pretty well locked into using Eudora at Stanford because of
site licensing.  It's an OK mail program, but has some holes.  Those
of adventurous bent (using Intel machines) might want to try
Pegasus Mail.  Now at ver. 2.54 (or thereabouts), it is a very robust,
fairly easy to configure, (virtually) bombproof program which has
the added advantage of being free for the asking.

Since someone mentioned them, the M$ mail programs have 
several nasty habits, including losing their minds if your 
machine hangs whilst the mail program is open...  Maybe,
just maybe, they'll fix that kind of thing.

Well, ok, this isn't really a piano post in a sense.  On the other
hand, if we can work out ways to help each other maximize
what the net can do for us, the same ends of sharing and
communication are served.

Best to all.

Horace
