To open a message, double-click on its message summary, or press Enter on the highlighted message summary. The incoming message window is then displayed. The title bar provides information about the message, including the name of the sender, the time and date the message was delivered, and the message subject.
The icon bar consists of a series of objects that are displayed just under the title bar. In Eudora Pro, these include the BLAH,BLAH,BLAH icon, the Trash icon, the Fetch icon, the Priority pop-up, and the Subject field. Eudora Light includes some, but not all, of these objects.
Note: Some of these icons appear only for certain messages.
The following table describes these icons and pop-ups.
| Icon Name | Description |
|---|---|
BLAH,BLAH,BLAH |
