I get all the formating instructions displayed on my incoming mail making it almost impossible to read the message.

Here's an example:

"From: "Inchcape Volkswagen Exeter" <volks...@inchcapecrm.co.uk>

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { [class~="mxm-mobile-hide"] { display: none !important } img[class~="mxm-image"] { width: 100% !important; height: auto !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-textalign-left"] { text-align: left !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-align-left"] > *, [class~="mxm-mobile-align-left"] > a > * { margin-left: 0 !important; margin-right: auto !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-textalign-center"] { text-align: center !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-align-center"] > *, [class~="mxm-mobile-align-center"] > a > * { margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-textalign-right"] { text-align: right !important; } [class~="mxm-mobile-align-right"] > *, [class~="mxm-mobile-align-right"] > a > * { margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: 0 !important; } td[class~="4Column-columnorder1"] { float:left; } td[class~="4Column-columnorder2"] { float:left;clear:both; } td[class~="4Column-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } td[class~="1Column-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } td[class~="2Column-5050-columnorder1"] { float:left; } td[class~="2Column-5050-columnorder2"] { float:left;clear:both; } td[class~="2Column-5050-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } td[class~="3Column-columnorder1"] { float:left; } td[class~="3Column-columnorder2"] { float:left;clear:both; } td[class~="3Column-mobile-100"] { width:100% !important;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 480px), only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { table[class~="mobile-max-width"] {width:320px !important;} } .ReadMsgBody { width: 100%; } .ExternalClass { width: 100%; } html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
* { mso-line-height-rule: exactly; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; -moz-text-size-adjust: none; -ms-text-size-adjust: none; text-size-adjust: none; } .gmailfix { display:none; display:none!important; } a[x-apple-data-detectors] { color: inherit !important; text-decoration: none !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; line-height: inherit !important; }

It never used to do this. I imagine I have turned it on somewhere without realising what I was doing but I can't work out where I can turn it off.

Can anyone help?

I no longer have access to Eudora, but could this be the result
of having clicked on the Blah...Blah...Blah icon? I thought that
only affected a single message, but maybe it's persistent.

I've also seen Eudora freak on the encoding in some messages and
display the encoding rather than the intended formatting, but if
you're getting this on every message, it must be some setting.

What you see is CSS (cascading style sheets), an add-on to HTML that
separates document content from document markup, not unlike style sheets
in word processors.

The Eudora makers in their infinite wisom decided HTML was the end-all
to email, so much that Eudora quietly dumps plain text sent along with
HTML in a mail. And then they weren't able to keep up rendering what
HTML turned into...

Cheerio,
