Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / October 2007Changing name in Dominant personality?
Occasionally, when sending a message, I'd like to change the name -- or more precisely, the form of my name that's shown along with my email address in the "From:" line of the outgoing message -- *without* going to all the trouble of setting up multiple personalities. Any way to do this? Thanks. > Occasionally, when sending a message, I'd like to change the name -- or > more precisely, the form of my name that's shown along with my email > address in the "From:" line of the outgoing message -- *without* going > to all the trouble of setting up multiple personalities. > > Any way to do this?

Set up some stationery with whatever you want included. There is a little menu at the top of your new message where you can choose the stationery to use, if you have more than one. > Occasionally, when sending a message, I'd like to change the name -- or > more precisely, the form of my name that's shown along with my email > address in the "From:" line of the outgoing message -- *without* going > to all the trouble of setting up multiple personalities. > > Any way to do this? Sure. It's just some setting in Eudora that by default doesn't allow editing the From field. I don't know exactly which x-eudora-setting, but the SuperSleek plug-in gives access to it: Eudora->Preferences->Sleek From: "Allow editing of From field". I seem to remember that one or more other plug-ins provide this too, but I don't recall which.

You're right! <x-eudora-setting:114> When checked, Eudora will allow From: fields to be edited in composition windows. http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/mac/xsettings.html http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/mac/download/X-Eudora-Settings.txt -- > > It's just some setting in Eudora that by default doesn't allow > > editing the From field.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/mac/xsettings.html > http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/mac/download/X-Eudora-Settings.txt I've tried to follow the above recipe. Putting <x-eudora-setting:114> into an email msg and clicking it does bring up the a box that begins just as quoted above, and just as described in the X X-Eudora Settings FAQ -- but -- No current or default value for this setting is shown -- There's no specific statement I can find as to what the allowed values for this setting are: "Checked/Unchecked"? "Check/Uncheck"? "Allow/Unallowed"? ?????? -- Clicking the default button does not put a default value into the current value field (either immediately, or after restarting Eudora). -- Trying to reset to values "Checked" and "Allow" have not been successful (even after quitting and re-opening Eudora). ???????????????????????????

I just tried it, and it works just beautifully, after restarting Eudora. :) SignatureSandy sw.foster 1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net > > > > <x-eudora-setting:114> > > > > When checked, Eudora will allow From: fields to be edited in > > > > composition > > > > windows. > > > To do this, put <x-eudora-setting:114> into an email msg and click it > I just tried it, and it works just beautifully, after restarting Eudora. Agreed! Thanks very much. > I've tried to follow the above recipe. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > -- Trying to reset to values "Checked" and "Allow" have not been > successful (even after quitting and re-opening Eudora). I tried "Y," "N," "1," "2," and "3" with no change in behavior. (Although I admit I got tired of the game and didn't try quitting Eudora for "3.")

You do need to Save and Quit, all the way, then re-Open Eudora. |
