Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / June 2006what do you call the line, From 'person' at 'date/time"
If I knew what this line was called, I could search for it. Anyway, can Eudora insert a line similar to that when I reply to a message? Thanks. Bea/NJ > If I knew what this line was called, I could search for it. Anyway, can > Eudora insert a line similar to that when I reply to a message? Thanks. > > Bea/NJ That's called the attribution. Eudora should already be putting such a line in your messages when you reply. I recommend you either get a copy of the X-Eudora-Settings via a blank email to <mailto:x-eudora-settings@tidbits.com>, or that you subscribe to the list so that you'll receive an update every time it changes. Use <mailto:listmanager@tidbits.com?Body=subscribe%20x-eudora-settings-list> for subscribing; the message you receive will have instructions for unsubscribing, etc. In that list, you'll find all the defined X-Eudora-Settings values, so you can search for "attribution" and see what your options are. = Steve =  SignatureSteve W.

Jackson Steve- Thanks loads for telling me about the X-Eudora settings. I found what I was looking for and I have to browse the rest of those settings just to see what one can do.

I rarely ever use Reply to All. But replying to any message always has an attribution line, and I'm almost positive I've never changed any settings affecting this -- though I have looked into them in the past. = Steve = SignatureSteve W.

OK, I'll assume I'm mistaken. Maybe I mixed it up with the paste as Quotation behaviour someone else pointedout. > But > replying to any message always has an attribution line, and I'm almost > positive I've never changed any settings affecting this -- though I have > looked into them in the past. I'm 99.9% sure Eudora doesn't insert an attribution line by default. (Maybe Kathy.pdf can fill in that last 0.1% ;)) I suport several Eudora users whose messages never contain an attribution line and who wouldn't have any clue at all how to disable that. I would most certainly have never switched it off for them - IMO this function should be on by default.

I'm pretty Sander and Terje are right, that by default it only supplies the attribution line when you Reply to All or paste as quotation. I'm sure it can be changed, though, with the right x-eudora-setting.

I *think* it's <x-eudora-setting:8205> # attribution line; from, date, subject, time or <x-eudora-setting:7818> Reply to sender attribution Although I've used it, I simply can't remember which, although I think maybe it's the second one to switch it on. The alternative (rather nicer, really) is SuperSleek, or its successor, which I used in the past.

Quickly checking these two, I think it would be the latter setting, 7818, since the default is an empty string (suggesting no attribution, to me). I've had no luck locating a successor to SuperSleek. Anybody got a suggestion where I haven't looked? = Steve = SignatureSteve W. Jackson Montgomery, Alabama > I've had no luck locating a successor to SuperSleek.

I found SuperSleek at a couple of locations, but I haven't tried it out to see if it works in OS X.

But something weird happened; I had a quick check (Cmd-I) on my iG5 running 6.1 in 10.3.9, and I have Sleek-a-Boo installed... I can't remember downloading it at all, but I did- I still have the .hqx file in my downloads received folder. I enabled it and it seems to do what it's supposed to, but I disabled it again because with the X-Eudora settings I've used in the past, I don't need it. > > There's supposed to be one called Sleek-a-boo, but I haven't been able > > to find it this evening.. > > I found a URL that might have it, > <web.green.ch/mfrischknecht/eudora-plugins.html>, but I can't get the > page to load this evening. None of the Frischknecht download pages seemed to load last night. Frischknecht? That's the name of the guy who maintains our roof in Geneva. Must be more common than I thought. Or maybe in the dark winter evenings our roofer writes Eudora plugins? If it proves hard to find, and anybody wants it, email me and I can attach the Sleek-a-Boo .hqx file.

I'm [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > <x-eudora-setting:7818> Reply to sender attribution I would like these settings to use 'language' as a parameter. Is that possible in some way or another? Replying to English messages should then give 'Dear from, at date time you wrote:' and replying to Dutch messages should give 'Beste from op date time schreef je:' and French messages 'Chèr(e) from, le date à time vous ecriviez:' and so on. Preferably using the different date and time conventions. Ideally it should also be possible to choose wether or not to tutoyer (how to explain this in English?) the recipient in Dutch, French or German while holding down some keycombo when replying and even taking the gender of the recipient in account with another keycombo. I guess this should be handled by a plug-in? A plug-in that does not yet exist? Or AppleScript? > The alternative (rather nicer, really) is SuperSleek, or its successor, > which I used in the past. It seems Sleek-A-Boo is the successor. No help-file online. I just downloaded it from http://web.green.ch/mfrischknecht/eudora-plugins.html You should add is as a plug-in. It suggests opt-dOD for a carriage return in the attribution line, which I need after the 'Dear from,' attribution part, but this does not seem to work. Anyone? SignatureReindeR > It seems Sleek-A-Boo is the successor. No help-file online.

The 404 is from www.green.ch, so the address up to there is valid, but frischknecht and all his works seem to have vanished completely. SignaturePeter > > It seems Sleek-A-Boo is the successor.

I don't see how. It will be extremely hard to correctly discover a message's language (consider that people often use multiple languages within the same text, or even just that languages tend to borrow from each other). Email headers could perhaps contain a X-Language: header, but without a proper Open Standard that everybody adheres to, it would still be unreliable. Isn't there some latin term that is used universally? "Scribus"? [...] > Preferably using the different date and time conventions. IMO it's better to use the universal notation for that, as defined by ISO 8601. ("YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM", if I'm not mistaken.) > [...] to tutoyer (how to explain this in English?) Good question :) > the recipient in Dutch, French or German while > holding down some keycombo when replying and even taking the gender of > the recipient in account with another keycombo. How could Eudora possibly know the sender's gender? (Maybe if (s)he's in the Address Book already, and you store such info there.) Anyway, I think there are more important things to worry about ;) SignatureSander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/> Mac user: "Macs only have 40 viruses, tops!" PC user: "SEE!

I think even a person who spoke no French at all could understand that. It would be like the word "dude," a word that is appropriate for your friend but probably not, say, for your professor or your boss.

I have Eudora installed on an iMac that I never use for mail but my wife does. I just checked there and confirmed that no attribution is present by default. So I obviously used some X-Eudora-Setting or something to cause it to appear in mine at some point. Hmm..... = Steve = SignatureSteve W. Jackson Montgomery, Alabama |
