Hi,
I use Eudora 7.1 and it works fine even with attachments but some
times I don't see them.
For example:
I put I listed an item on "Kijiji" and Kijiji asked me to confirm the
email just sent. Yes, I received the email with the right title but it
was completely blank, with no links or writings in the body of the
message
So I had to go to the web and open my message to be able to confirm
that link. Why does this happen to me? This is not the first time. Can
I solve this problem?
Thank you

The easiest workaround is to right click on the message and select "send to browser".
That should open the message in your default web browser, which hopefully will be able to display it correctly.
HTH.
Cheers, Dave.

You're not the only one. It happens to me occasionally.
For security reasons I've deselected the option "Use
Microsoft's viewer", but Eudora's internal HTML viewer.
That one is heavily out of date though, so I'm not at
all surprised it can't cope with "modern" HTML stuff
in messages. So what I do is to open the mailbox file
(e.g. in.mbx) with Notepad to see if I see something
suspicious. If not, I use right-click / Send to browser
in the "empty" message.

How do you enable Eudora's internal HTML viewer?

I thought the only choice was between "Use Microsoft's viewer" or to
see plain text.

What settings do I need to make Eudora use its internal HTML viewer?
I have never heard of a native Eudora HTML viewer. When I disable "Use
Microsoft's Viewer" in Options all I seem to see is plain text.

This is not a plain text viewer, but it only has very limited HTML support, which results in many modern format messages looking a complete mess in it! Generally you're better off now using the "Microsoft Viewer", which is actually Internet Explorer's HTML rendering engine.
Even this now has problems sometimes unfortunately, especially if you're on an old version of Windows.

The Eudora manual doesn't speak about "HTML viewer", but "Eudora
lets you view incoming mail with advanced formatting, graphics,
multimedia, and the like". In common speak that's a HTML viewer,
but a very limited one. For using the full glory and threats of
HTML you can right-click on a message *you trust* to send it to
your default browser.

Then the message is in plain text or Eudora's primitive HTML
viewer is incapable of (fully) rendering it. I've seen quite a
lot of such cases, and it's increasing.

None, except for *not* ticking the "Use Microsoft's viewer" in
