Hi - On the off-chance that one of the Eudora (Windows) experts here might have an answer, here's my question: Some time in the last couple of years Eudora (at least Eudora with Gmail) has started producing a bunch of weird characters, both in outgoing and in incoming mail. The most common is this one: Â
Anyone know of a solution?
As always, thank you!

Yes, Len Shustek recently developed a tool to fix Eudora mailboxes to deal as well as possible with Eudora's fundamental lack of Unicode support. The tool also makes a few other useful patches to Eudora. https://github.com/LenShustek/Eudora_fix_mbx
Len discusses and releases updates on the Eudora-win email list.
To join that list, email join-eudora-win@hades.listmoms.net and include Gazelle in the subject line.

Eudora_fix_mbx that I linked to above is the best you're going to get. Eudora does not natively understand Unicode, and that tool can be run repeatedly on any mailbox at any time to make the best fixes that are possible within current Eudora. Plus there are patches within that also fix some other issues.
There is no better fix available.

I use Len's solution by filtering incoming to go to a temp folder and then applying Len's translations.
This works for the majority of issues.
A remaining issue is not then being able to move emails from that temp folder to other folders, in line with the rest of my filters automatically; I get an error that the file (folder) is read only and inaccessible. I need to access the temp folder and move the corrected emails manually. Not a big problem though but a nuisance.
Now this is for "real time" action. You can also let your normal filters do their job and then call Len's exe to translate where your incoming emails have gone - in each folder. The problem with that is you are reapplying Len's translations to emails already corrected, as the exe works on the entire folder. Also, if the folder is large, the time to complete the translations is also large.
Still, Len's program is the best.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!
Anyone have a fix that automatically corrects the weird characters, both for outgoing and incoming emails with Eudora and Gmail? In advance, thanks.
