Andrew Starr's Unofficial Eudora Site

• Personality Headers by Greg Brown will enable you to customize reply-to: or x- headers to your outgoing email's on a personality by personality basis.

• Resource Plugin Info
• Resource Plugins
• Resource Plugins for Eudora 3.x and above
• Resource Plugins for Eudora 4.x to 5.x
• EMSAPI Plugins
• Plugins and OS X
• AppleScripts and Scripting Tools and Info

• Eudora Question and Answer Hypercard stack has lots of info on creating plugins. It requires Hypercard Player
• ResEdit is what is used to make plugins. At some point there will be instructions on how to make your own plugins, or modify or combine those listed here.
• ResExcellence is a site devoted to using resource editors.
• Eudora Pro 3.x Mac Resources from Dave del Torto. Also has some 2.x info. Contains the resource numbers helpful to make your own resource plugins or scripts.
• EUget500 by John Delacour. This application will write you an email giving you a list of 500 Eudora settings starting from a number of your choice. It will not tell you what they signify but by changing settings and then writing yourself another email with EUget500 you can find out.
• Blah/Progress/Personia/Flow by Robert Rosenberg is a resource plugin that can change the default message display from full to abbreviated headers, disable the progress window when sending and receiving mail, and adjust the number of spaces per tab. Allows you to set x-headers by personality. Also can turn off format=flowed in Eudora 4.1.
• Peter Gildea's Eudora page has both Mr. Gildea's plugins and links to many other plugins:
• Mr. Gildea's plugins:
  • Attributions changes the strings that Eudora inserts before a quote. The default is nothing for a reply to the sender, and "At <time> on <date>, <sender> wrote:" for a reply to all recipients. These four plug-ins provide four variations on that. The Finder's Get Info box (click on plugin, hit command-I) of each tells what it does, so you can keep them straight.
  • DN Headers makes Eudora use domain names instead of numerical IP addresses in the routing headers.
  • Extra Headers adds a panel to Eudora's Settings dialog, which allows you to enter additional headers to be added to all your outgoing mail.
  • Kill X-Sender suppresses the "X-Sender: login@mail.provider.com" header that Eudora adds if your POP account and your return address aren't the same.
  • Peter's quote changes the quote string from the default ">" to "> "
  • Sig picker lets you specify a signature folder name other than "Signature Folder," allowing you to have more than one Settings file in the same Eudora Folder, but have them use individual signatures.
• Other plugins at Peter Gildea's Site:
  • Norm Gall's Extra Settings (also at HyperArchive) plug-in provides templates for adding extra headers and attribution strings, and allows you to edit the "From:" field in your outgoing mail.
  • Wagner Truppel's Wagner's Eudora Prefs 1.1 (also at HyperArchive) has settings for many useful parameters, including tabs, wrapping, splitting large messages, mailbox compacting, and quote characters. (Note: Eudora 2.x and 3.x users should download Wagner's Super Sleek below)
  • Brad Pillow's Nickname Settings lets you change the width of the Nicknames window, so you can see longer names.
  • Andy Fragen's RSVP prefs (also at HyperArchive) allows you to change the From: headers from the default "user@host.com (Real Name)" to "Real Name <user@host.com>".
  • Robert Rosenberg's Blah/Progress Settings can change the default message display from full to abbreviated headers, disable the progress window when sending and receiving mail, and adjust the number of spaces per tab.
• Qualcomm's plugins: See the Readme file. 934-forward and Esoteric Settings are the most helpful.
• Adam's Plugin includes many features. [Hyperarchive copy]
• Calles Eudora Plugins by Carl Bäckström contains two plugins: one lets you change the "From:" address on the fly; the other changes the "waiting" graphic to a stopwatch.
• Constant Message-ID allows you to use an unchanging hostname in the Message-ID field.
• Eudora Pride will insert an X-Mailer header into your outgoing messages identifying you as a user of Eudora for Macintosh!
• Full Forwarding by Dave Trissel. Eudora Pro 3.x can autoreply and autoforward messages, but won't do so for messages with certain headers, as a protection against infinite mail loops. This plugin overrides this protection, but be sure to read the readme and know what you are doing before taking such a step.
• Header Hider by John Delacour hides all but the essential headers in received mail. It's not guaranteed to hide everything but not much will get through. He has allowed visibility of the Content- lines as these can give important information especially to users of non-Latin character sets. (If you click on the "show all headers" button you will still be able to see all headers.) He has included AppleScripts that will modify the plugin to show fewer or more headers in the abbreviated header listing. You will probably want to download OSA Menu from the scripts page.
  • Eu Get HH settings by John Delacour is an Applescript that will put a new message in Eudora telling you which headers are being hidden from the non-blah-blah headers. It should work even if you have none of these header plugins installed. The top of the message gives you instructions on how to write a short Applescript to remove other headers from the non-blah-blah headers.
• RR-yes MIME-no by James "Snuey" Allen. With this plugin, if someone requests a new- or old-style Return Receipt in mail they've sent you, you'll see an extra line in the non-Blah-Blah message header saying so. It also suppresses the "MIME-version:" line.
• Hide Me by James "Snuey" Allen contains a plugin and step-by-step instructions that allow you to suppress the display of the "To:" line of your E-mail when (and only when) you are the only recipient. Cuts down on header clutter.
• Andrew's Header Hider is my modification of Header Hider. My goal is to only see the following headers: Date:, From:, Subject:, To:, Reply-To:, Return-Receipt-To:, and Disposition-Notification-To:
• Andrew's Header Hider 2 does the same as the above, but also allows "X-url:" headers to appear in the non-blah-blah headers. Handy for those who want to determine what web page they were e-mailed from.
• Kill Fwd: does just what its name implies: it prevents the Fwd: from being added to the subject of a forwarded message.
• Mussolini by James "Snuey" Allen makes Eudora's auto-mail-checks run on time. You'll never miss another auto-mail-check because you were typing in Eudora. Makes no changes to Eudora, your E-mail, or your Settings. Remove Mussolini, and Eudora will resume deferring auto-mail-checks until you've been idle for 60 seconds. Customizable. Includes documentation.
• NoLog by Andrew Starr turns off Eudora logging.

These are known to work with Eudora Pro 3.x. Some are inapplicable for Eudora Light 3.x, and I have not tested any on Eudora Light 3.x) See also the Plugins section above. I think all of the above plugins still work with Eudora 3.x.

• Button Icon Plug-In by John Delacour does not actually change the icons for the buttons on the toolbar. It gives you the plugin you need to change any of them, however. Using ResEdit, you can replace the toolbar icons with anything you choose.
  • Terry Kasdan's version of the toolbar plugin.
• Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer 1.0 and Eudora Sound Mover 1.0, both by St. John Morrison. Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer restores the status icons to letters rather than icons. Eudora Sound Mover can manage the sounds in Eudora Pro. It can add sounds by either selecting them from a dialog or dragging them into its window; play the sounds; and delete unwanted ones.
• enteF3.0fc120 (use Fetch or Anarchie) makes Eudora 3.0 (or the 30 day demo thereof) display the texts, i.e. dialog and alert boxes, help balloons, etc., using the French language. Note that the "standard" mailbox names are translated to: In -> EntrÈe, Out -> Sortie, and Trash -> Rebut.
  • Eudora Fr <-> US (use Fetch or Anarchie) will change your In, Out, and Trash mailboxes from French to English or English to French. It toggles them automatically by checking what language they are currently in.
• InlinePICT sets Eudora 3.0 to display incoming PICT attachments under 90K as inline images at the end of messages.
• JDsEUcolormenu by John Delacour gives you 18 color choices in the Eudora 3.0 color menu: Red 100%, Red, Red Dark, Green 100%, Green, Green Dark, Blue 100%, Blue, Blue Dark, Yellow Bright, Gold, Yellow Ochre, Orange, Brown, Purple, Mauve, Magenta, and Pink
• MainPersonality plugin by John Delacour allows you to change the name of dominant personality to something other than "Dominant." (Eudora Pro 3.1)
• No Styled Quote Strings (c) 1996 by Pete Resnick is not an official Qualcomm plugin. It may be a bad idea to use this. But it works for me. It gets rid of the <<<< and >>>> separators when replying to a message in Eudora 3.0 that uses styled text, but keeps the black vertical line to indicate which part of the message is the original text.
• Ph Globe will let you enter a Ph server other than your default Ph server to be used in Directory Services window when you click the globe, which will then download a list of known Ph servers.
• Plain URLs by Pete Resnick will make it so that URLs will not be blue and underlined (but can still be launched).
• URL Highlight Color lets you change the URL highlight color. There are versions of the plugin that will automatically set the highlight color to a specific color (black, white, red, green, bluer, or matching your default text color) and a version that lets you set the color to any RGB color, or your default text color, in the settings area in Eudora. Instead of using a plugin, you could also use John Delacour's AppleScript (included in this download) to choose the color from the color wheel or color slider bars. The AppleScript requires Jon's Commands.
• Wagner's Eudora Prefs 1.3 by Wagner Truppel allows you to add any string for the quote and forward characters without the need to use ResEdit or two separate files, unlike version 1.1. You can now also change the opening and closing strings that appear when you forward a message, as well as the opening string when replying.
  • SuperSleek, by Wagner Truppel, is the newest upgrade to Wagner's Prefs and works with all versions of Eudora from 2.x on. The upgrade has new artwork and even more features.
  • A page with SuperSleek information, documentation, and the latest version is also available.
• Idle Times lets you set the amount of idle time before Eudora does a timed check, the amount of idle time before Eudora 4.0 delivers filtered e-mail, and lets you have Eudora automatically respond to return receipt requests upon opening a message containing one.
• Eudora 4.0/Mac StringDefs
• Eudora 4.0/Mac Resource Settings

• EMP 1.1a2 by Tim Thome is a resource plugin that Supplements Esoteric Settings 4.*, Allows user to add to extra Headers (4 extra headers), gives many useful preference switches, and settings, lets you set reply attributions, gives rfc934 style forwarding, brings back the rooster and snake, Navigator MIME Fix, Kill X-Sender, and a couple of other cool things (check with balloon help). Should work with Eudora 4.2 and later. Note that it is not a final product and is still under development.
• LDAP Plugin makes it so that Eudora's directory services window will give you a choice of LDAP servers upon request.
• No VCards by Robert Rosenberg adds support for ignoring VCARDs (.vcf) files. It also address support for eFax (.efx) attachments to assign the correct Creator/Type information to any such Fax Images.
• Personality Headers by Greg Brown will enable you to customize reply-to: or x- headers to your outgoing email's on a personality by personality basis.

To install, place EMSs in the "Eudora Stuff" folder inside the Eudora application folder. Eudora will install this extension the next time it is launched. You can see which message service extensions you have installed by selecting "About Extended Message Services" in the Apple menu.

• AttachmentGlue "insures that the attachments you intend to include with emails actually are attached"
• KlepSig by Scott J. Kleper is a plugin for Eudora Pro 3.0 and later that will use your Internet Config signature on outgoing mail. With the RandomSignature extension (included), you can get Eudora to append randomized quotes to your email.
• Quote tools
  • Add/Strip Quotes 3.0 should come with Eudora. It lets you specify (see the "Special / Plugin Settings" menu) what character to look for as the quote character.
  • Remove >'s by Brad Lowe gives you the option of removing one level of quotes, all levels of quotes, or of removing linefeeds.
  • SmartWrapª by Sanford Selznick analyzes your text, detects paragraphs and lists within your text, and rewraps your text so it wraps naturally within your document or message. SmartWrapª comes in many varieties so it's always available where you need it most:
    • SmartWrapª Plug-in For Eudoraª and Eudoraª Light (Mac and Win)
    • SmartWrapª the Clipboard (Mac and Win)
    • SmartWrapª Plug-in For BBEdit, MailSmith, and CodeWarrior (Mac Only)
    • SmartWrapª AppleScript Scripting Addition. Can be used with Claris Emailer and Outlook Express. (Mac Only)
