I have no bandwidth restriction for my needs, nor any real concern about
the extra disk space used either.

Eudora 7??? On the Mac!

Not according to the Eudora web site, that states 'Windows Only'.

Yes, I do, and if you read the rest of this thread (which isn't very
long), you'll see that I've already done this.

I use a double Firewall, NIDS and Little Snitch, so not a lot gets in or
out without me knowing.

I do at least have the sense to turn off HTML graphics. I don't use
Eudora to read my HTML mail, I only use it to receive them. I use my
browser to view them - which, as you kindly point out below, is where
they belong. It is this feature that is broken, I have already accepted
that Eudora does not do HTML properly.

Getting into a HTML in mail argument isn't what I was looking for
really, especially as I'm not even asking about viewing HTML within
Eudora itself.
