<text>We put stuff in this stack that just doesn't fit in the manual, either because it's too arcane or because it's too embarassing.
If you have questions about Eudora that the manual, Eudora's balloon help, and this stack don’t answer, you should seek out information from your local experts who know your network best. The Q&A stack has lots of information about commonly asked questions and on customizing Eudora to fit a user's personal taste. The manual contains a complete explanation about Eudora's features and commands, as well as information important to the network administrator. Not every question they could ask is covered by all these sources of information.
We monitor the UseNet news groups for questions and comments about Eudora.

Overview
QUALCOMM Incorporated is a leader in digital wireless communications technologies. The company manufactures, markets, licenses and operates advanced communications systems and products based on digital wireless technology.
QUALCOMM had revenues of $107.5 million in the fiscal year ending September 1992. Publicly traded since December 1991, its stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market System, symbol: QCOM.
FOUNDED
1985
Employees
Over 900 personnel are located at the company's San Diego headquarters and throughout the United States.
Products AND TECHNOLOGIES
OmniTRACS System -- QUALCOMM's principal product is the OmniTRACS system, the most technologically advanced two-way mobile satellite communications and tracking system of its kind in the world. Introduced in late 1988, the OmniTRACS system provides data transmission and position reporting services for over 225 transportation companies and other mobile customers using more than 43,000 OmniTRACS terminals in the United States and Canada. The system also operates in Europe and service is planned to begin in Japan, Mexico and Brazil in 1993.
CDMA -- QUALCOMM’s Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a next-generation technology for digital wireless telephone communications. CDMA improves voice quality and increases capacity by as much as 10 to 20 times over today's FM analog cellular system. CDMA uses spread spectrum technology to break up speech into small, digitized segments and encode them to identify each call. A large number of users can thus share the same band of spectrum and greatly increase system capacity. Commercial deployment of CDMA cellular systems will begin in several U.S. cities in early 1994. A North American standard based on QUALCOMM's CDMA technology is expected to be adopted by the Spring of 1993 for the rapidly growing cellular telephone industry.
Globalstar‚Ñ¢ -- Under development through a joint venture between QUALCOMM and Loral Aerospace Corporation, Globalstar is a low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based, cellular-like voice and data service for mobile or fixed applications. Globalstar will be designed to provide affordable and reliable voice, data, fax and position location services to customers around the globe.
VLSI -- Included in the company’s product offerings are a family of Viterbi and Trellis decoders, Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS), Phased Locked Loop (PLL) synthesizers and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) based on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology.
Government -- QUALCOMM’s government products include Data Link Systems for government test and training ranges, and the QM6100 Universal Compatible Modem for Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS).

<text>Eudora keeps all its documents in a folder called, "Eudora Folder," in your system folder. There are several different types of documents in the folder.
1. "Eudora Settings" stores your current settings.
2. "Eudora Nicknames" stores your list of Nicknames.
3. "Eudora Log" is used for logging
4. There are two documents for each mailbox listed in the "Mailbox" menu. One has same name as the mailbox, and your mail is stored in it. The other has ".toc" appended onto the name of the mailbox. This document contains the "table of contents" for the mailbox.

<text>POP (Post Office Protocol) is what you use to pick up your mail. Your mail is stored in your POP account until you pick it up, either with Eudora or by logging into the POP server directly. The POP server requires that you provide a login and password.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send your mail. SMTP does NOT require a login and a password.
You needn't use the same server for SMTP and POP, though you can if you wish.</text>

Then, put the file in your mail folder (by default "Eudora Folder" in the system folder), and name it, "Eudora Nicknames". Eudora will use the lines in it that begin with "alias", and ignore the rest.
Two caveats; One, if a given nickname appears more than once in your .mailrc file, UNIX will make one big nickname out of all the lines. Eudora will ignore all but the last nickname. Eudora DOES understand what a "\" at the end of a line means, so if you used them to build lists in your .mailrc, you'll be ok.
Two, if you have more than one address listed for an alias, separate the addresses with </span><span class="style2">commas</span><span class="style3">, not spaces.

<text>You probably don't have a POP3 server installed. For UNIX sites, try popper, available for anonymous ftp from ftp.cc.berkeley.edu. If VMS is your affliction, you can try Multinet, or IUPOP3 from ftp.indiana.edu, /pub/vms/iupop3. VM/CMS sufferers can try Charley Kline's popper port, which can be had from vmd.cso.uiuc.edu (cd to the "POPD" directory.</text>

<text><span class="style1">here are two things I know of that can cause this.
VMS TGV Mulinet:
</span><span class="style9">Normally the SMTP headers normally in the the text of the VMS MAIL message and those are sent. You apparently have PMDF configured not to include those headers. There is a new flag that will be in documented for MultiNet 3.2 You can
$define/sys/exec multinet_pop3_flags 64
If you already have multinet_pop3_flags defined add 64 to the value. This will build headers from the VMS from line and not expect any SMTP headers in the mail message.
</span><span class="style1">UNIX Elm:
</span><span class="style9">ELM has one option DONT_ADD_FROM in its configuration file. If that is defined (default) then no From: line shows up in the mail header and Eudora cant find it. All that need be done is to edit config.h and undefine DONT_ADD_FROM. Then Eudora (and all the other well behaved mailers work correctly)..</span><span class="style1">

<text><span class="style3">udora splits incoming messages into 24K pieces, if the message itself is over 26K. These constants can be adjusted (look for FRAGMENT_SIZE and SPLIT_THRESH in the Eudora Q&A stack), but they must not be set over 32K.
The reason for the 32K limit is Macintosh TextEdit, which is limited to 32K. The reason Eudora splits well below the limit is to allow for quoting during replies and forwards, and suchlike.
The pieces can be reassembled by selecting them all in a mailbox window and choosing "Save As..." from the "File" menu. Be sure to turn off "Include Headers". The resulting text file can be opened by a word processor or other application that can work with large text files.

<text>When I reply to a message, Eudora puts an "R" in the left column of the message summary. But if I delete the reply before I send it, the "R" stays. Is this a bug?</text>
</content>
<content>
<layer>background</layer>
<id>3</id>
<text>No, it's a deficiency. Eudora just isn't smart enough to remember which original message the reply came from, so it can't go back and remove the "R" from it.
I will fix this eventually, but it will require major surgery.</text>

<text>The mail transport system around here puts a lot of stupid junk in mail headers. Can I make Eudora filter it out?</text>
</content>
<content>
<layer>background</layer>
<id>3</id>
<text>Sure. Use ResEdit to copy STR# resource id 3200 from Eudora into your Eudora Settings file, and then add strings to the resource. Each string is another header to ignore. Eudora matches on initial substrings only, and is case-insensitive. So if, for example, you wanted to get rid of every header beginning with "X-", you could just put "x-" into one of the strings in STR# resource id 3200.</text>

<text>I don't seem to get as much feedback from Communications Tools when I use Eudora as I do from other programs. What gives?</text>
</content>
<content>
<layer>background</layer>
<id>3</id>
<text>If you set the "Auto-OK" switch, Eudora must inhibit all alerts and windows from tools, because Eudora has no effective way to dismiss them. The Communications Toolbox does not provide a way to specify that you want things like the modem monitor window and progress windows, but not alerts.
So, you have to choose; pretty dialogs from CTB tools, or having Eudora automatically dismiss alerts. Can't have both.

<text>What the heck is "X-Sender" and "(Unverified)" and how can I make them go away?</text>

<text><span class="style5"> You don't need a password to send mail on the Internet. Therefore, anyone with a little knowledge can forge mail; send mail and make it look like it came from someone else. However, certain people are rather clue-challenged about this problem, and insist that it is a "Eudora bug" that Eudora does not ask for a password when sending mail. So I have thrown them the "X-Sender" header as a sop.
X-Sender: shows up in two situations. First, if you set your Return Address to something other than your POP Account, Eudora will add an X-Sender: header with your POP Account in it, so that people know what account you normally use.
Second, if you have not checked your mail since you started Eudora, Eudora does not know if you know the password for the account or not. In this case, if you send mail, Eudora adds an X-Sender: field with your POP Account and "(Unverified)".
In summary, X-Sender provides some tiny protection from stupid mail forgers. Smart ones will not have a problem forging mail, so this is really no protection at all, but so it goes. Even I can't always fight City Hall.
