Launch a program from a message—If this is selected, you are warned if you try to launch a program from a message. For security reasons, you should never launch a program sent to you from an unknown source, or if you’re not expecting a program without performing a virus check on the file. Do not launch any program if you don’t know the sender.

MAPI

The MAPI options control the Eudora MAPI Server. Eudora’s MAPI support allows you to quickly attach documents to email messages directly from the application that created the document. Without MAPI, you must first save the document, remember what folder the document is in, switch to Eudora, and then remember to manually attach the document to the outgoing message. MAPI streamlines this process dramatically.

To email the current open document from your word processor, select the Send command from your word processor’s File menu. This automatically activates Eudora and attaches a snapshot of the open document to a new composition message. The MAPI system stan- dardizes how messages are handled by client applications so that each client application does not need to have a custom code for each target messaging application. MAPI accomplishes this by providing a standard application program interface used by all MAPI-enabled client applications. An additional MAPI feature supported by Microsoft Office applications is the ability to add a “routing slip” to a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document. This routing slip contains a list of email recipients obtained from the MAPI subsystem. Once a document has an embedded routing slip, then it can be semi-automat- ically routed as an attachment via email to all recipients listed in the routing slip. Once the routing is complete, the annotated document is returned back to the original sender.

Note. Close all other MAPI applications before changing Eudora’s status as a MAPI server.
