The help page about client compatibility with mail.msu.edu (http://help.msu.edu/mail/testedclients.html) is in error when it states that the Eudora 5.2.1.1 beta for Windows is compatible as an IMAP client. When you use any version of Eudora, including the beta-test version, as an IMAP client to mail.msu.edu, it will fail to retrieve certain messages from the server. The message will be listed as an entry in your mailbox, but the message will be empty. The messages that this happens to are generally multi-part MIME, with attachments or embedded images combined with plain and styled text. I typically get a message or two every day that comes in "blank" because of this problem. I reported this to the development team in January, so I don't understand why it is not listed on the client compatibility page as a problem. I spent quite a few hours myself on it, first narrowing down the problem and documenting it with IMAP logs, followed by a multi-week email dialog with Eudora's tech support to convince them that there was a problem. The last I heard, MSU had agreed to provide Eudora's developers with a test account to look into the problem. --Chris ============================================== Chris Wolf Computer Service Manager Agricultural Economics [log in to unmask] Michigan State University 517 353-5017
