I correspond with people who use OE and the "stationary" feature which puts a pretty picture (supposedly) in their email. I know others see it because they talk about it. But using Eudora Pro 4.1 I don't see the stationary. I was trying to help a friend learn how to use the feature at her house a few weeks ago. We sent a test message to me and I saw the picture. She wrote down the instructions and follows them exactly the same as what I did, but I don't receive the picture! I have messages coming in all the time that when I reply to them, Eudora asks me if I want to send it in Plain & Styled text so I know I'm getting HTML email. Is there some setting in Eudora that I need to change (never changed my settings) or is it the OE software which is flaky? I had thought it was this one friend, but I'm on a one-list email list and they talked about someone's stationary this last week, so I know it's not just my friend. No big deal, but I'm curious about it ;) Thanks. Rene' **************END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT************** Hi René. Here are the settings you have to have in Eudora to see the background pictures, fancy text, etc.: Tools/Options/Viewing Mail - Check Use Microsoft's Viewer (If you don't use MSIE, you need to download it and install, even if you don't ever use it. You can still keep whatever Web Browser you do use as the "default". I use Netscape as my Web Browser, but had to install MSIE in order to use all the nice "goodies" in Eudora. I just kept Netscape as my "default" browser.) Try this and let us know if you can then see the "fancy" stuff that some users send. Personally, I would love it if MS email-browser users NEVER sent that fancy stuff. It is "pretty", but just adds to the size of downloaded emails and really serves no practical purpose. And, many users, who have other email browsers, never see the added stuff anyway. SgtGeorge
