Turning off tooltips for Filter Report

I have Mac Eudora set up to automatically filter all incoming mail into
specific mailboxes. When this happens, a Filter Report window comes up
showing where the mail has been placed, with clickable links. For some
reason, when I hover the mouse pointer over one of these links to click
on them (and open the mailbox), a tooltip comes up with the complete
path to the mailbox, which is quite long and takes several lines. I find
this annoying and don't need to see the path; I just want to click on
the link. Is there any way to turn off these tooltips?

Thanks.

Use X-Eudora Setting <x-eudora-setting:166> and set it to "yes" -- but
this means that ScamWatch will be turned off in all of your email
messages.  (The point of ScamWatch is to let you know when the URL you
see is different from the URL you'd actually be directed to if you click
on it -- this often isn't a problem, but it's one of the ways that
organizations pretend to be someone else).

Ah, so there is a point to the tooltips. That is, I can see the point in
incoming email, but I can't see the point in the Filter Reports dialog
-- after all, I presumably know (or can easily find out) where my own
mailboxes are on my own hard drive. So there's no way to turn off
tooltips for local paths while leaving them turned on for Internet URLs?

Thanks, Jonas

Yes.

I agree.

Not that I know of.  Anyone else?
