Re: Strange Characters in Eudora

Hi Michael,

One thing you can try is to use the "Paste Special..." command
(Windows) which gives the options:

"Paste copied text as unformatted, Rich Text Format (RTF), Eudora
standard, or Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) text"

This option should be available with Eudora 5.2.1.

FYI, on the Mac hold down the Shift key and select Paste from the Edit
menu to get "Paste without Styles" (or Shift + Command + P)
