On my system (Win 95a, IE 4.01) receiving the original posting about the bug caused Eudora to page fault and die an ugly unrecoverable death. Solution: Downgrade to Eudora Pro 3.0, which is almost identical feature wise, and is a lot more efficient, or just don't use IE 4.0 as Eudora's mail viewer, which makes no real difference as far as i can see. Don't go moaning to Qualcomm about this one, the bug is in IE. This seems to be the latest of many similar bugs in IE 4.0, how much effort would it of taken to fix them all when the first one was found? Anyone else hanging out for March 31st?
