Do you know if Eudora would accept something >like the simple CAD sketch I tried to send to the list a couple of days ago? That would depend on the file type. If its a .dwg or something, then I doubt it very much. I can paste the Mac clipboard into a message but I think Eudora then sends it as a Mac PICT file (== .pct) and Windows readers might not be able to view it. What I do is always convert to .gif and insert through the file dialog. Next time I get on the PC I'll see what's possible. I've worked for years as an alpha tester in the engine rooms of Eudora, mainly writing automation scripts for the Mac version, but I know the Windows version fairly well now. What I would use on Windows to convert to .gif is a shareware program named SnagIt (find it with Google or at download.com). Once this is running you type ctl-shift-P wherever you are and draw a marquee round the rectangle you want to capture. This then goes into a sort of scrapbook from which you can save as .bmp, .jpg, .gif etc. I have the same sort of thing on the Mac but it's at least 12 years old and works perfectly. If any Mac users would like it (it's called Capture, by the inventor of BinHex encoding) just let me know and I'll post it to you. Your drawings did not appear in my messages and I had to hunt for them in Eudora's secret places, but I got them. JD
