Ah. Well, the problem is that when Outlook *sends* a message, it often 
encodes it so that only Outlook can read it. For those of you who are 
techies, I can say that it does this by combining all of the non-text 
components into a TNEF block (Transport Neutral Encoding Format) which is, 
indeed, transport-neutral but is not vendor-neutral.

Eudora faithfully follows all of the Internet standards for encoding 
outgoing messages. You will never see a compatibility problem with a message 
sent from Eudora.
