Eudora and accented characters

When you receive messages containing accentuated characters with Eudora (5x) or Mail, your mail client may have problems decoding these accents, leaving you with almost unreadable mail.

The solution is to copy "Eudora Tables" into your "Eudora Folder" from an older Classic version of Eudora. Restart Eudora. Open a message and select Message -> Change -> Transliteration and select ISO -> Mac or IBM -> Mac (none seems universal for decoding). Accents will be properly decoded.

Do the same holding Shift, and you will have selected a default decoding table that should save you from decoding future individual messages. Thanks to Denis Gauthier for this tip.
