=========================================== EUDORA FOR WINDOWS, VERSION 5.2.1 INCLUDES ESP 1.1 =========================================== This README provides information on the following topics: - Minimum Requirements - Installation - Eudora and Windows 2000 or Windows XP - Notes Concerning Eudora and: * Apple QuickTime and * Microsoft Internet Explorer - If the "Speak" Filter Action is Grayed Out - Security Note - Known Issues - Bug Reports - Requests for Features - Eudora Version 5.2.1 Software License Agreement See RelNotes.txt for detailed information on changes, bug fixes, and known issues. (A single text file containing all the information that's in Readme.txt and RelNotes.txt would be too large for Notepad to open on some systems.) ---------------------- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ---------------------- To use Windows Eudora Version 5.2.1, you must have the following: - IBM PC or compatible. - Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP or Windows NT 4.0 or above. - An Internet e-mail account (POP or IMAP) with an Internet Service Provider or through a corporate network. - Access to your mail account via (1) a modem connection to your Internet Service Provider or (2) a direct Internet network connection. -------------- INSTALLATION -------------- To install Eudora: 1. After downloading the installer, exit any applications you are running. 2. Click the Start button in the Windows task bar, select Run..., then click the "Browse" button. 3. Go to the folder where you saved the installer. Choose that file and click "OK". 4. Read the Welcome screen, then click the Next button. For the rest of the installation process, click the Next button to go on to the next step, or click the Back button to return to the previous step. 5. Read the Software License Agreement, and if you agree to the terms, click Yes. Once you've installed Eudora, a copy of the license agreement will be available in the file License.txt in your Eudora directory. 6. Pick the components you wish to install. 7. Specify a folder in which to install Eudora (the installer refers to this as the Destination Program Folder), then click Next. 8. Specify a folder in which Eudora data files (such as mail, settings, address books, and email attachments) should be stored. The installer refers to this as the Destination Data Folder. NOTE: If you've already been using Eudora on this computer, be sure to specify the folder where your existing Eudora data files are located. 9. The installer will show you the Destination Program Folder and the Destination Program Folder once more. Use the Back button if you need to go back and change them. Click the Next button to proceed with the installation. 9. Eudora is installed in the destination directory. 10. The installer will offer to place a shortcut to Eudora on your desktop. 11. The installer will offer to display the Readme file (this file). 12. The installer will offer to take you to the accessory download page in your web browser. This gives you an opportunity to download additional tools that can help you use Eudora more effectively, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple QuickTime. The interaction between Eudora and those two applications is described below. 13. We recommend that you look at the Readme.txt and Relnotes.txt files in the Eudora directory following installation. ====================================== EUDORA AND WINDOWS 2000 or Windows XP ====================================== The security model of Windows 2000 or Windows XP has required us to modify the way Eudora is installed and the way it determines where to create data files -- including mailboxes, email attachments, address books, and so on. On a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system, only someone with Administrator privileges (hereinafter, an Administrator) can install software in the Program Files folder. Someone with User privileges (hereinafter, a User with a capital U) cannot do so. In fact, a program launched by a User can’t store any data in the Program Files folder or any subfolder of Program Files. Unfortunately, earlier versions of Eudora would try to do exactly that by default; consequently, if an Administrator installed Eudora and a User tried to run it, it would fail to work properly. With Eudora 5.x under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the default location to install the application is still under Program Files, but the data files are kept in a User’s Application Data folder (typically "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data", where is the User’s login name). The installer lets you pick a different place for Eudora to store data. If only an Administrator is going to be running Eudora, the data can go anywhere at all, but if a User is going to be running Eudora, the data should go in that user’s Application Data folder. ___Finding the data folder___ The Windows 2000 or Windows XP Application Data folder usually has the hidden attribute, which makes it invisible in Windows Explorer or My Computer (unless you’ve configured those tools to display hidden objects). There are good reasons, though, why you might want to explore the folder where your Eudora data is stored; in particular, the email attachments that you’ve received are there, in the Attach subfolder (unless, of course, you’ve told Eudora to store attachments elsewhere). To make this easier, Eudora creates a shortcut to your Eudora data folder in the Application Data folder’s parent folder, which is typically "C:\Documents and Settings\". ___Precisely how Eudora determines its data folder___ Below is the exact sequence of how Eudora determines the folder in which to keep its data files. This applies in all versions of Windows. Most users will have no need of this gory detail, but here it is, just in case: 1. If a folder is specified on Eudora's command line, then Eudora uses that folder. 2. Otherwise, if the program folder (that is, the folder where Eudora is installed) contains a Eudora.ini file, then Eudora uses that folder. 3. Otherwise, if there's a DEudora.ini file in the program folder, and if the [Settings] section of that file contains a DataFolder setting, and if the folder specified by that setting contains a Eudora.ini file, then Eudora uses that folder. 4. Otherwise, if there is not a UseAppData=1 entry in the [Settings] section of the DEudora.ini file in the program folder, and if either of the registry keys listed below specifies a folder, then Eudora uses that folder. (If both keys list a folder, the first one takes precedence.) \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Qualcomm\Eudora\CommandLine \\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Qualcomm\Eudora\CommandLine\Current 5. Otherwise, if the system has version 4.71 or higher of Shell32.dll, Eudora uses the current user's Application Data folder. 6. Otherwise, Eudora uses the program folder. As suggested by step 5 above, Eudora's ability to use your Application Data folder really hinges on whether your version is 4.71 or higher of Shell32.dll. This is always the case if you're running Windows 2000 & XP, and it's also true if you’ve installed version 4.0 or higher of Microsoft Internet Explorer and included the integrated shell in that installation. ------------------------------------- NOTES CONCERNING EUDORA AND: * APPLE QUICKTIME * MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER ------------------------------------- Eudora's standard message viewer supports basic HTML, such as text formatting and inline images (displaying pictures within the body of a message rather than in a separate window). Some of the supported image formats include .BMP, .JPG, and .PNG files. Installing Apple's QuickTime application adds support to the standard viewer for inline display of a wider range of image (picture) formats such as .GIF's. Installing Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), version 4.0 or above, adds an additional message viewer (hereinafter, the Microsoft viewer) to Eudora that can accurately display just about any HTML message you might receive. You can find an installer for QuickTime on the Eudora web site at . You can obtain Internet Explorer on the Microsoft web site at . * Why should I care about displaying HTML messages? HTML messages (email messages that use HTML, the language of web pages) are becoming more and more common. Most web browsers allow a web page to be sent as an HTML message. If someone sends you an HTML message that uses advanced formatting such as tables, then to see it as it was intended you need to tell Eudora to use the Microsoft viewer instead of its standard message viewer. * If Eudora has two viewers, how will I tell it which one to use? Just check or uncheck the "Use Microsoft's viewer" checkbox in the Viewing Mail panel of the Options dialog, under the Tools menu in Eudora. The checkbox is checked by default if IE 4.0 or higher is on your system. If IE 3.0 or higher is not on your system, the checkbox is dimmed and you can use only the standard viewer; you can, however, enhance it with QuickTime as described below. * What if I already have Internet Explorer? If you already have IE 4.0 or above on your system, Eudora will take advantage of it automatically, as long as you have "Use Microsoft's Viewer" checked as described above. If you have IE 3.0 on your system, you have two choices: 1. You can upgrade to a more recent version of Internet Explorer. 2. You can leave it alone, in which case Eudora will use IE 3.0 if you choose "Use Microsoft's viewer" in Eudora's Options dialog. However, this doesn't provide all the functionality you get with IE 4.0 or above, or even with the standard viewer - see the details below. If you have a version of IE earlier than 3.0 on your system, installing IE 4.0 will not affect it. However, you must have at least IE 3.0 in order for the "Use Microsoft's viewer" option to take effect. * What does Eudora's standard viewer support? + Bold, italic, and underlined text + Different font faces, sizes, and colors + Fixed-width text + Left and right justification and centering + Multiple indentation levels + Bulleted lists + Hyperlinks (clicking on a URL launches your browser and takes you to a web page) + Horizontal ruling lines + Inline display of BMP images, some JPEG images, and PNG images * What does QuickTime add to the standard viewer? + Inline display of a wider variety of images, including the full set of JPEG formats, GIF, TIFF, Macintosh PICT, etc. * What does the Microsoft viewer do that the standard one doesn't? + Displays GIF and a wider variety of JPEG images inline + Automatic inline display of images from web sites + Numbered lists + Tables and forms + International character sets + Java applets, JavaScript, and ActiveX controls + Dynamic HTML (not if you're using IE 3.0) + Other embedded objects (audio, video) + Unlike QuickTime, it doesn't display Macintosh PICT images * What DON'T I get in Eudora if I use IE 3.0 instead of IE 4.0? + Dynamic HTML + Editing of received messages + Running Eudora plug-ins (such as text translators) on received messages If you're using IE 3.0, you can still edit received messages, and run Eudora plug-ins on them, provided you first switch to the standard viewer by unchecking "Use Microsoft's viewer" in the Options dialog. -------------------------------------------- IF THE "SPEAK" FILTER ACTION IS GRAYED OUT -------------------------------------------- You have the option, when setting up a filter, to have Eudora audibly announce, or speak, the subject and/or the name of the sender whenever a message is filtered. (In the case of an outgoing filter, it will speak the name of the recipient rather than the sender.) In order to use this feature, you need to have a sound card and sound card device driver that are compatible with the version of Windows you're running. You also need to install Microsoft's Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) and a SAPI-compliant text-to-speech engine. If those components are not present on your computer, the Speak action will be grayed out in the Filters window. You can remedy this by installing SAPI and Microsoft's text-to-speech engine; installers for both are available on the web at , under the heading "Installing Microsoft's Text-to-Speech Engine". --------------- SECURITY NOTE --------------- Recent email viruses and worms have heightened many people's awareness of the need to be careful with email. For maximum protection, we recommend the following: 1. Change your Eudora attachment directory to something other than the default. 2. Disable JavaScript in your web browser. 3. Leave "(Warn me when I) Launch a program from a message" checked in Tools/Options/Extra Warnings. 4. Leave "Allow executables in HTML content" unchecked in Tools/Options/Viewing Mail. Consult for additional information, including instructions for changing your Eudora attachment directory. -------------- KNOWN ISSUES -------------- 1. Eudora doesn't have dual monitor support. 2. The usage percentages in the Statistics may not be accurate if you use Eudora for a long period without ever switching to a different application or letting Eudora sit idle for 60 seconds. 4. Eudora Directory Services doesn't support version 3+ of LDAP. 5. Eudora sometimes thinks there's an Internet connection when in fact there isn't. 6. Using a reply-with filter action with a plain-text original message causes the tag to appear at the end of the stationery reply. 7. The ESP mailbox Folder view doesn't allow renaming of sub-folders. You have to select Open Folder from the Share Group Actions menu instead. 8. Toolbar icons still display incorrectly on a few systems. 9. The MoodWatch chilies in the composition toolbar don't show up, or display very faintly, in certain Windows color schemes, such as "Plum (high color)". ------------- BUG REPORTS ------------- If you experience something you think might be a bug in Eudora, please report it by going to . Describe what you did,what happened, what version of Eudora you have, any error messages Eudora gave (the numbers in parentheses ( ) are especially important), what kind of computer you have, which operating system you're using, and anything else you think might be relevant. Unless additional information is needed, you will not receive a direct response. ----------------------- REQUESTS FOR FEATURES ----------------------- Please submit any suggestions or requests for new features to . Unless additional information is needed, you will not receive a direct response. ------------------------------------------------------------- EUDORA(R) VERSION 5.2.1 SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT ------------------------------------------------------------- QUALCOMM INCORPORATED(R) ("QUALCOMM") IS WILLING TO LICENSE ITS EUDORA VERSION 5.2.1 SOFTWARE INCLUDING ACCOMPANYING PUREVOICE(TM) PLAYER-RECORDER AND PUREVOICE(TM) PLUG-IN (THE "SOFTWARE") AND THE ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION TO YOU ONLY ON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT.
