I tried this in my mail program. My computer only gave a ding and wouldn't

put anything on the screen. And happily I thought I could finally type

e-mails using the little degree symbol!

You're using an ancient version of Eudora Lite -- which back then didn't

support HTML very well. Even now, Eudora is not the greatest e-mail client

for HTML (styled text) but it's come a long way and does the simple things

like characters by using " ALT " and the proper number sequence.

 

Upgrade your Eudora and you should be able to do that providing you turn on

styled text.

So that's the problem! Anna, you're right. I have a very old edition of

Eudora on purpose because it tosses out all the HTML, and viruses can't get

into my computer through e-mails. This Eudora is too ancient to catch them.

You might want to check out Pegasus Mail. It is free and a very sophisticated

email client. Look on google under Pegasus Mail.

Thanks, Bert. I do have a later edition of Eudora, but haven't intalled it.

I'll look into Pegasus.

The more current Eudora doesn't propagate viruses any more than the version

you're using did. It's Outhouse and Outhouse Excuse that propagates

viruses left and right. Eudora can be set up very safely, where someone

could receive viruses files and it wouldn't be an issue...
