Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / July 2004View option TO:
Dear All is it possible to have Eudora 6.1.1 (Paid for) to display the name of the addresses of an email? I've looked but haven't found how to do this (eg in Preferences - Mailbox Display) My useful email address is ghb@mydomain, but lots of the spam (and "returned undelivered" email) gets sent to invented addresses at my domain name. BUT... I give out email addresses like amex@mydomain and bank@mydomain so I can't just filter on "not ghb@mydomain". If Eudora allowed me to list by TO: then I could easily sort out the nonesense/invented names and delete them.

Sorry, I read to fast, and understood FROM: instead of TO: JPaul.

I think you need to gather together your published addresses and filter them into something useful before finally filtering anything "not ghb@mydomain" to the trash. Then, of course, you look at the trash but by that stage it gets easy. > If Eudora allowed me to list by TO: then I could easily sort out the > nonesense/invented names and delete them. I'm using 6.1 in Light mode, and it won't display the To: line in mailbox view.

Hmm, that's what I think too. Hoping to be proved wrong by someone who knows all the X-settings!

You can do the same as a black list : Put all the bad address in a nickname that you call (for example) "blacklist". And then you can use a filter that match header TO: for "intersecting nickname" blacklist and put these mails to the trash. Voilà JPaul.

[snip] Write filters that assign unique labels to each "To:" address you want to monitor. Turn on checkbox for labels display in the Settings panel "Mailbox Display". Now you can sort on the labels. - Mike > [snip] >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > - Mike OK, some neat ideas coming here to solve the problem - thanks all. But it's a pity that Eudora doesn't give access to the actual address (it's the ones that look like "kvcwsiaub@mydomain.com" that I'm looking for, and those the eye sees easily in a list).
