Eudora User Manual Receiving Attachments
54
QUALCOMM Incorporated
If you receive a large message consisting largely of indecipherable t ext, it is probably an
attachment that was not automatically decoded. Usually this occurs because the attach-
ment headers are formatted incorrectly. To decode an attachment that was not automati-
cally decoded, do the following.
1Open the message.
2From the File menu, choose Save As to save the message as a text file.
3Run the decoding utility appropriate for the encoding method that the sender u sed.
Decoding utilities can be found at various shareware sites on the Interne t. Also see
“Attaching a File to a Message” on page 32. Click the page number to display the topic.

following.
1From the Tools men, choose Options.
2Scroll through the category list and select Attachments.
3Beneath the Attachment directory prompt, click on the large bar button. A standa rd
file dialog box appears.
4Double-click on the name of the directory you want to use (its na me appears above the
list).
5Click Use Directory. The dialog box closes, leaving the Attachments options window
