Eudora _does_ display using any ISO-8859 character set (e.g. Latin-1),
each of which defines 256 characters, enough for any one "Western" language
(some of these cover a group of related languages), but it does _not_
understand multi-byte "characters" of the UTF-8 character encoding scheme,
which includes many thousands of "characters" from all languages combined,
by means of the use of multi-byte characters as necessary -- in UTF-8,
ascii characters up to value 127 are normally left alone, as single bytes,
hence only "accented" characters and special "curly quotes" etc.
become multi-byte sequences within most "Western" languages.

A third-party plugin is available which replaces some multi-byte characters
with near equivalents from ISO-8859-1, making them more displayable by Eudora;
it's advisable to pay careful attention to the included instructions and settings:

I'm sorry but I don't understand your reply if you tell me I haven't
to configure anything.
I always have this problem.
But it doesn't matter!
I will use Eudora with this problem.

Why else would anyone post it for you?

Did you visit that link and READ about it?

Did you TRY it?

As Mark Twain once wrote about members of the U.S. Congress
(but it could equally apply to anyone who talks and doubts, instead of acting):

"If one of those men had been present when the Deity was on the point
of saying 'Let there be light!' we never would have had it."
