Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / September 2004attributions
How do I get a reply to automatically say something like "on __ date, you said:" Eudora, using my old PC, used to do that. This question was posted earlier by someone in this news group and the answer was: > Try <x-eudora-setting:7818> with something like: > > At ^3 on ^1, ^0 wrote: > x-eudora-setting:7818 Have looked in the Eudora folder and don't find how to access anything called x-eudora settings. So this half computer literate Mac user could really use some help.

So this half computer literate Mac user could > really use some help. x-settings: Paste the < > expression into a Eudora message. It will turn blue. Double click on it. A window will open. Type the suggested text into the exit-box in that window. See <http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/2116hq.html> A somewhat simpler method--which doesn't exactly do what you want--is to turn on the "reply to all" setting in the "Replying" settings pane. This will add an attribution. The reasoning being, that if you are replying to multiple recipients, its nice for them to know who wrote the original. However, if you are replying to one person, there is no need. Note that if you turn on reply to all, you have to be careful that you don't send a message to many people when you intend only one!

Or use the SuperSleek plug-in[*] to have a GUI to edit some of those x-eudora-settings. > This > will add an attribution.

The reasoning is understandable, but fails to consider discussion lists where you send to 1 address, but (should) want to be understood by many recipients. For me, if I have to choose, I prefer to always have the attribution line there, even in 1 to 1 traffic. [*] SuperSleek can be found through Andrew Starr's famous Unofficial Eudora site (assuming he has fixed the linkrot by now ;)). See <http://www.emailman.com/eudora/mac/>.

Same here--sometimes even in one-to-one traffic, it's helpful to have the date reminder.

Paste the following into the message (including the brackets): <x-eudora-setting:7818> It should become a highlighted, underlined link. Double-click on it. In the window that opens, paste the following into the "The new value would be" box: At ^3 on ^1, ^0 wrote: Click on the "Set Setting" button. Delete the message you opened. You're done. Henceforth, when you reply to an e-mail, the first line will read something like this: At 4:10 PM -0400 9/23/04, Bruce Springsteen wrote: HTH SignatureI'm D.F.
