Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / January 2008Is there a way to hide GMAIL headers?
Usually, I just ignore these, but others here have asked about it... Eudora 6.2.4 is receiving gmail-sent mail (from the gmail web site) where the beginning of the message shows some of the headers like this: X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.3 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:from:sender:to:s ubject:mime-version:content-type:x-google-sender-auth; bh=cr+J7yBAFbGw4+tahACZKFiqcRUeAxvOLqt5An+q0WQ=; b=gOMl/2ObhTUWomHy6LgKJZFemRwN6YovFWzc2LMddcOMaVGra0s4D5BOOWA8jbCMEb4u9R oFguI3ez/jFlY7g1TU50EBQTTF0YqwlJrzsvj+UplzST62tIse2c8mDfrwLewtG2LBiqajyt MVLL6WgEP/hu//eY0SFCZCQ5Jg8OU= Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 09:36:54 -0500 And then next would come the "from", etc... (the normal stuff...) Is there an easy way to set Eudora to *not* display those gmail headers that doesn't require a user installing the "esoteric settings" plug-in? Some sort of X-Setting to hide these?

I am mystified by your aversion to the ES plugin... I'm not sure whether the "Boring Headers" preferences pane is part of ES or not, but it provides access to the list of headers (actually leading substrings of headers) that are hidden unless you press the 'blah blah blah' button. That list is stored in the STR# resource ID 3200 in the settings file. You can edit that with a resource editor (ResEdit or ResFool) with Eudora NOT running, or access the list one entry at a time with sequential x-eudora-settings starting at 3201.

I share your mystification. Esoteric Settings is free as beer, was bundled with Eudora, works well and causes no side effects. And enabling it is just a matter of doing a 'Get info' on the Eudora application bundle and ticking the plugin's check box. The only thing I can think of is that the OP might be kibitzing on somebody else's installation of Eudora, which he cannot change. SignaturePeter > The only thing I can think of is that the OP might be kibitzing on > somebody else's installation of Eudora, which he cannot change. EXACTLY. The person who this is bothering is somebody that would be unlikely to be able to follow the instructions accordingly to make it work (much less actually modify the headers in the setting -- assuming he/she got it installed properly...) - Steve > Is there an easy way to set Eudora to *not* display those gmail headers > that doesn't require a user installing the "esoteric settings" plug-in? Installing the esoteric settings plugin is very easy in OS X; in the Finder Get Info, then check the box for Esoteric Settings in the plug-ins section. I can't remember, but you may have to restart Eudora to see the effect. That said, you won't be able to get rid of all of them even with the Esoteric Settings plug-in, because some aren't headers; the most annoying ones are sent in the body of the message. SignatureKathy These headers could be easily hidden by setting the "Content Concentrator" option for the "Message Window" to "Compact" (the same as the default for "Preview Pane"), if only this option had been completed in time (the 6.2.4 manual says that it would have appeared in a "future" version). This seems to be the only thing better in the Windows version, in which this same option works, rather than being "grayed out" :) These headers do not really extend into the message body; perhaps there is instead some bug making it appear so. The only reason that these headers get associated with Gmail in particular (also Yahoo?) is that Gmail is one of the first to adopt the "Domain Keys" system, which includes cryptographic "signatures" of emails in headers, to authenticate where they were mailed from, and thus might be used to reduce spam, if anyone has yet implemented actually verifying the signatures :) Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys -- |
