When receiving mail that someone sent using Incredimail, I get a bunch of
gibberish with the header. It appears to be code and reference for the
program to point to the stationary of choice. Looks a lot like some reg
entries too. I can't figure out how to eliminate that if possible in
Eudora. I posted an image if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

"Gibberish" with the header? Do you mean you get a bunch of headers in the
message that you don't want to see in the message window? If so, use the
Taboo-headers setting to exclude those headers from the ones viewed when
you aren't using the blah blah blah message. Or do you mean that there are
a bunch of headers displaying in the body of the message insteady of in
the headers section? If that's the case, there is something broken about
the message's headers and there isn't much you can do about it at your
end.

I don't see any code there. I see a bunch of headers with a background
picture.

Hehe, agreed upon there. However, I was just wondering if there is some setting in Eudora that will delete that garbage since it is only with Eudora that I see such garble.

Not sure how to go about that. I rummaged around through the eudora.ini file and looked at filter options, but don't see a way.

Use the TabooHeaders parm to only display what you want.

Try:
How To Keep All Headers Except TO, CC, FROM, REPLY-TO, DATE,
and SUBJECT From Showing
http://wso.williams.edu/~eudora/eudora-taboo-headers.html

Note:
You *may* need to turn off the preview pane.
-OR-
Use PreviewHeaders in a similar manner.

Thanks Daniel, that's what I was looking for!

I had the exact same problem and solved it by customizing my
eudora.ini. Now all the headers do not show unless I hit the "blah"
button. You can use my list, I'll copy it below.

With Eudora closed, copy and paste this into the
[Settings] section of the eudora.ini

It will replace your current list.

TabooHeaders=X-UID,Received,Status,X-UIDL,Message,In-Reply,X-Priority,Mime-Version,Content-,X-Persona,Resent-Message,References,Return,X400,X-400,Mail-System,Errors-To,X-List,Delivery,Disposition,X-Juno,Precedence,X-Attachments,X-MSMail,X-MimeOLE,X-Nav,X-FID,X-FVER,X-FIT,X-FCOL,X-FCAT,X-FDIS,X-BG,X-BGT,X-BGC,X-BGPX,X-BGPY,X-ASN,X-ASN,X-ASH,X-ASHF,X-AN,X-ANF,X-AP,X-APF,X-AD,X-ADF,X-AUTO,X-TMRK,X-CNT,X-Extensions,X-Sender,X-Originating-IP,X-eGroups-Return,X-Yahoo-Profile,Approved-By,Delivered-To,X-Mailer,X-OriginalArrivalTime,Mailing-List,List-Unsubscribe,X-WebTV-Signature,Importance,Reply-To,Sender

and your problems will be solved.

good luck,

Suzanne

I just copied straight from what they had there on the site: TabooHeaders=>,a,b,co,dis,e,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,rec,ref,res,ret,q,s,u,v,w,x,y,z and It accomplished what I wanted. Thanks.

No, you can't make Eudora delete headers from received messages. You can
make it hide them though, which is what the settings already mentioned do.
They'll still be in the message, you'll just have to tell Eudora to show
the full headers if you want to see them.

Thanks, I'll shorten them a tad!
