the Eudora site. To test it, I sent myself an email with an attachment
called test.exe, thinking I'd get a pop-up and have an option to open
it or not. It slipped right though like any other email. Was this a
valid test? Using 3.05 Pro.
Thanks,

No it was not a valid test. Eudora Pro Version 3.x does not recognize
that setting. That setting began in the 4.x series.

I think the feature came out in v4.3; it certainly wasn't available in
yours.

Mm, I guess this fooled me (from http://www.eudora.com/security.html):
For versions of Eudora earlier than 4.2.1, follow these instructions:
Close Eudora, then open the
"Eudora.ini" file in your Eudora program folder with a text editor,
such as Notepad. Find the line
that has the text "[Settings]" on it, and add the following line right
after that one:
WarnLaunchExtensions=exe|com|bat|cmd|pif|htm|do|xl|reg|lnk|vbs|
Make sure you use the above text exactly, including the vertical bar
that follows "vbs".
You also can use this syntax with either method above to designate
other file extensions you’d like
to be warned about. Simply add the extension and end with a vertical
bar.
Seems that since 3.0.5 is earlier than 4.2.1, it would work. Guess
not.

I understand your frustration but you have to be realistic about it.
You are using a version that is over three years out of date. It's
like giving instructions and then having to remember to say, "Oh, if
yours is earlier than 1950."

Yes, three years out of date and not bulky, hardly ever a problem. Now, to
be modern, it's best, perhaps, to have ad banners dancing in the head when
using e-mail. Oh well, problem solved by setting up filters to sound an
alert and transfer those e-mails with a .exe or .com, etc., into a DANGER
folder. That's all I wanted anyway. Thank you for your time.

I'm not sure what you mean by "bulky". Granted, it's larger but then
it does a lot more. You and I might not like all of the new features
but they (and more) are much in demand as you must know if you follow
the newsgroup.

Meaning? I have no more problems with v5.1 than I had with v3.0.5.

Try paying for it and you won't see ad banners, either.

The ads that Qualcomm sells bring in money too. "Free" to the user
doesn't necessarily mean that the developer gets no money from it. Whether
Qualcomm is going to make more from the ads than they lose in paid copies
of the software, I don't know, but unless they expected to make more I
doubt they would have done it. And judging from their new subscription
model pricing and updates that cost almost as much as the full version, I
think they want most people to switch to sponsored mode rather than paid
mode.
