Nope. The default in Eudora (at least the Mac versions I've used) is
to display minimal headers. This is what I see from Grant's message
that I'm replying to:

To see more detail, you click the button labeled "BLAH BLAH BLAH"
next to the subject line. To see this button, you need to set your
inbox (or whatever mailbox you're using) not to show message previews
and, instead, access individual messages each in their own window.

When I view all headers in Grant's message, this is what I see:

I believe it's in the Content-Type header that you'd see an
indication of HTML encoding. In addition, clicking BLAH BLAH BLAH
will make any HTML tags visible, showing just how much extra text is
transmitted in such a file.

The broken messages that I received (which may well have been in
HTML) all had only a single header line.
