Turn on the 'Fetch' button in the icon bar and check mail >again to retrieve a raw version" (This is in the Eudora window). This is quoted-printable encoding. There is an option in Eudora to disable quoted-printable; it's probably in the 'Send' portion of the 'Settings' or 'Options' dialogue. I hope this is useful to you.
