Displaying Progressive JPEGs in emails?

    Still using Eudora 7.1.0.9 under Windows XP as my main email client. (in a VM)

    One thing that has happened over the years is the increasing occurrence of Progressive-JPEGs embedded in emails.

    Eudora, because it relies on the Internet Explorer 7 rendering engine, just shows blank boxes wherever these occur.

    Is there a way to add the ability to view these??

    Been searching for years--just found out about HERMES Mail today.

    Thanks!

    There might be a way to jury-rig a way of filling those blank boxes. But I think it would not be a worthwhile endeavour given that we have to replace the HTML viewer anyway. We have a few candidates for this replacement and we should ensure choosing one that properly handles Progressive JPEGs.

    Hopefully any workarounds will work in 32-bit XP.

    What's the best way to support the project?
