Eudora help

[den]

any Eudora 5.1 users out there? I need to know how to make the message preview window dock. At the moment it's a floating window. the little "maximize' button doesn't do it, and I hate floating windows.

nope. That does nothing. I can still grab the "In" title bar and drag it around. I want to get rid of that title bar to maximize the reading area.


by the way, I tried v6 today and wasn't real impressed. It wants to scatter its diectories all over the place. The *.mbx and associated directories and files ALL go into /windows/application data/qualcomm/eudora and the dirctory I WANT it to go into (ie c:/eudora) only holds the .exe .ini and some .dll files.

NOT HAPPY. I tried to force it to into c:/eudora/ and the installation barfed. Underwhelmed.

That's odd - maximizing the In window should get rid of the bar.

Do you have other windows open (within Eudora)? I used to have In and Out open, then use Windows->Tile Horizontal to keep them tidy.

Have you tried closing the In window and re-opening it? Shouldn't behave any differently, I know, but this is Windows!

(We've got v5.2 on the Win2k laptop.)

Tried all that. I like to see the whole window so prefer not to tile or cascade.

It's like the maximise button has lost its function. Hmm... looks like I need a reinstall, and I don't have the installer.

5.2 isn't easy to find - this (http://www.freestuffland.com/Eudora5.2.exe) is about the only non-v6 executable I could find.

Ta! I'm getting it now.

I actually got 6 running with no problems, but I don't know how long that will last. I'll grab the old version Just In Case.

(6 still didn't fix that annoyance. It's not really a problem.)
