- Notes on the EES Plugin Modules for Eudora by Qualcomm:
- ========================================
-
- Eudora Editting System 1.0 © Copyright 1995, 1996 Jaeson M. Engle.
-
- First and foremost, you MUST use the proper plugin for the version of
- Eudora you have.
-
- You may pick and choose, or simply install the plugin named "EES".
-
- Place any/ all plugins in the PREFERECES folder of your System folder.
- Otherwise you will get each plugin listed twice in the Eudora Settings dialog
- (a known bug in Eudora :-)
-
- Descriptions of the plugins (Both Versions):
- ===============================
-
- EES Full: All modifications in one. See descriptions below.
-
- [Free Version Only] Sound Replacement: Allows new and exciting sounds
- to be used for Eudora when it gets new mail and when it needs your help.
- You can change this one using ResEdit and changing the snd resource. Be
- SURE and keep the resource IDs the same (ie 1001 and 1002). I'm working
- on a way to change this easily.
-
- Message Strings: Allows you to change the To: From: etcetera lines when
- you open a new mesage to send. Purely superficial.
-
- Misc. Settings : Various settings that you can modify:
- - Name of Settings File:
- Change the name of your settings files. Only works when Eudora needs
- to make a new one.
- - Text File Creator:
- Something that always bothered me. Allows you to change the default
- creator of new text file Eudora makes from TeachText/SimpleText to
- something else (ala BBEdit (R*ch), MS Word (MSWD), etc.)
- - Number of Wrap Characters:
- Changes where Eudora wraps if you have word wrapping set.
- - Name of "Send" button:
- Another superficial change; allows you to change the Send button in
- new messages to something more exciting (mine reads "NO!" :-)
- - Prefix of (Subject) Replies:
- Changes the begining of messages you reply to from Re: to whatever.
- NOTE: The message will continue to get longer and longer as people
- reply to messages. This could get very annoying.
- - Name of Eudora Folder:
- Changes the name of the Eudora Folder the next time Eudora makes one.
- - "New Mail" Dialog Text:
- Changes the text of the "You have new mail" dialog if you have this as
- a notification method (personally I suggest against it, but...).
- - FRAGMENT_SIZE, SPLIT_THRESH:
- This determines how large of a chunk large messages will come in as
- (such as digests or Info-Mac messages or TidBITS :-).
- SUGGESTED SIZES (From TidBITS#271/03-Apr-95):
- SPLIT_THRESH: 31900
- FRAGMENT_SIZE: 31800
- DO NOT make these sizes over 32000. Eudora currently (as of 1.5.1 and
- 2.1.1) uses the Mac's TextEdit services to do text, and that has a 32k
- limit. I cannot be responsible for crashes caused by your setting
- these values over 32k.
-
- Header Settings:
- Originially known as EHM 1.1, this module replaces the app I made so
- you can change headers on the fly. NOTE: You must make the header LOOK
- like a normal header or mail packages like sendmail will barf (very
- nastily by the way).
- FORMAT:
- X-Header: whatever
- X-Header can = anything
- whatever can = anything
- DON'T LEAVE OUT THE COLON!
-
- Menu Replacment:
- Replaces the Settings menu so that the settings item can be called
- from typing cmd-\.
-
- Legal Stuff:
- ========
- Even though one set says "free" on it, it is not. This indicates
- that is for use with the free version of Eudora.
- This package is NOT free. I ask a mere US$10 for all of this.
- Shareware means pay for it, freeware means you don't, and
- public domain means you can do anything with it. As it says in each of
- the settings dialogs, this is SHAREWARE.
-
- Payment may be made in cash or personal checks drawn on US Banks.

- DISCLAIMER:
- =========
- Although I cannot forsee any possible data loss directly caused by
- these plugin modules, The Jourvian Group (ie me) will not be held
- responsible for ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
-
- These modules are © Copyright 1995, 1996 Jaeson M. Engle, all rights
- reserved. They may be distributed in any manner (including CD-ROM
- archives), posted to any BBSes or public ftp sites provided the entire
- package is distributed without modification and this readme file is
- included.
-
- Future Enhancements/ Adds:
- ====================
- I am working on a suite of AppleScripts for interfacing with Eudora.
- If you have any suggestions/ requests for scripts, please let me know.
- I am also working on an application that will create a plugin module
- containing just the parts of these that you want, though this is a low
- priority as the plugins pretty much speak for themselves.
