Decoding e-mail

[Kjetil Ra Hauge]

>Eudora just needs to be able to get to the fonts.  Different Eudoras put
>the Options menu selection in different places.  In 4.0.1 it's under Tools
>(then > Options then > Fonts).  If you have a CP1251 font, try setting the
>screen fonts to that.

A little trick that is handy for Eudora for the Mac, possibly for Windows
as well:  for incoming Cyrillic e-mail, when your options ("Settings" on
Eudora Mac) is set to a non-Cyrillic font, just hit the "Reply" button and
change the text of the reply to a Cyrillic font from the Edit>Text>Font
menu.

Of course, if most of the e-mail you get is in English, you might as well
set the default font for mail to a Cyrillic font, as it will handle English
as well, but that won't be covenient if you also get mail in languages that
need all the little ethnic characters of Latin 1.
