Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / February 2006Sponsored Mode has changed to Light Mode
Hi Been having some trouble lately when launching Eudora (6.2.3 with OS X 10.3.4). Box comes up saying Eudora can't get adverts. Quitting and relaunching works and the ads appear as normal. There was a box saying to visit Eudora website for fixes one of which was to empty the ads folder which I did some while ago. But the problem still recurred. Launched Eudora just now it's gone from Sposored to Light Mode with various menu options greyed out. Can't see an easy way of getting sponsored mode back. Re-install or trashng prefs perhaps? Any ideas please? Thanks Ivor > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > sponsored mode back. Re-install or trashng prefs perhaps? Any ideas > please? Just to follow-up.....I have now got back to Sponsored Mode by replacing the prefs with the ones from my last backup. In the process something's happened...I've now got the little box where the ads are in it's default Eudora display, but no ads have appeared for several hours and it looks like it's going to stay that way. I'm not sure that's a good thing. Think I'm going to emigrate to Apple Mail while I've still got everything available. Ivor >> Hi >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Ivor Hi, I noticed that sometimes too. It gives up trying getting advertisements too easy especially if you have a firewall like netbarrier and asks you to allow it connect or not. They may have done it to prevent Eudora from "locking" if it can't connect to ad site. About Apple mail: I try to use it sometimes too. I "try". I think people are too harsh against Eudora after trying Apple mail for 2 weeks. I have seen some amazing bugs, lockups on Apple mail. It also has something to do with its new policy, getting every single IMAP message from server. For? Ahem, Spotlight searching. Well aside from html mail (in fact, web pages sent to users acting like mail) I stay on Eudora.

With those, you can use File | Open in Browser to see the web pages properly rendered in your chosed web browser.

Thanks but I really switched to "text only" everywhere I can find that preference. Thank God for AOL users :) Every major site gives an option thanks to their mail client has apperantly has a major problem with HTML. Also not saying they "spy" for evil reasons, tracking gifs from huge companies like CNET etc. especially when my network is lagging started to bother me a lot. You know, if there is anything in current technology they can use to track their users behaviour, they use it. Big dotcoms. Ilgaz Signaturenotice the change in e mail address. > I really switched to "text only" everywhere I can find that > preference. [...] Yes, same here. > Also not saying they "spy" for evil reasons, tracking gifs from huge > companies like CNET etc. especially when my network is lagging started > to bother me a lot. I'm sure you already know this, but others may not. One way to protect against the gifs that report you have received the email is to set Eudora to not download html graphics. For those not already aware, much spam includes a link to a 1 pixel graphic; if you download the graphic, you can't see it, but it alerts the spammer that your email address is valid.
