NOTES CONCERNING EUDORA AND: * APPLE QUICKTIME * MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER
-------------------------------------
Eudora's standard message viewer supports basic HTML, such as text formatting and inline images (displaying pictures within the body of a message rather than in a separate window). Some of the supported image formats include .BMP, .JPG, and .PNG files. Installing Apple's QuickTime application adds support to the standard viewer for inline display of a wider range of image (picture) formats such as .GIF's. Installing Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), version 4.0 or above, adds an additional message viewer (hereinafter, the Microsoft viewer) to Eudora that can accurately display just about any HTML message you might receive.
You can find an installer for QuickTime on the Eudora web site at http://www.eudora.com/download/other/
* Why should I care about displaying HTML messages?
HTML messages (email messages that use HTML, the language of web pages) are becoming more and more common. Most web browsers allow a web page to be sent as an HTML message. If someone sends you an HTML message that uses advanced formatting such as tables, then to see it as it was intended you need to tell Eudora to use the Microsoft viewer instead of its standard message viewer.
* If Eudora has two viewers, how will I tell it which one to use?
Just check or uncheck the "Use Microsoft's viewer" checkbox in the Viewing Mail panel of the Options dialog, under the Tools menu in Eudora. The checkbox is checked by default if IE 4.0 or higher is on your system.
* What if I already have Internet Explorer?
If you already have IE 4.0 or above on your system, Eudora will take advantage of it automatically, as long as you have "Use Microsoft's Viewer" checked as described above.
* What does Eudora's standard viewer support?
+ Bold, italic, and underlined text
+ Different font faces, sizes, and colors
+ Fixed-width text
+ Left and right justification and centering
+ Multiple indentation levels
+ Bulleted lists
+ Hyperlinks (clicking on a URL launches your browser and takes you to a web page)
+ Horizontal ruling lines
+ Inline display of BMP images, some JPEG images, and PNG images
* What does QuickTime add to the standard viewer?
+ Inline display of a wider variety of images, including the full set of JPEG formats, GIF, TIFF, Macintosh PICT, etc.
* What does the Microsoft viewer do that the standard one doesn't?
+ Displays GIF and a wider variety of JPEG images inline
+ Automatic inline display of images from web sites
+ Numbered lists
+ Tables and forms
+ International character sets
+ Java applets, JavaScript, and ActiveX controls
+ Dynamic HTML
+ Other embedded objects (audio, video)
+ Unlike QuickTime, it doesn't display Macintosh PICT images
Note:
Since Eudora 6.2.0.14 the program can now use it's internal viewer for displaying GIF files, whereas previously QuickTime was required.
