Turn off graphics in Eudora
Eudora provides a way to turn off automatic loading of graphics for greater speed and privacy.
Most email clients will automatically load all graphics in a message, and many spammers will note that the graphics have been accessed as confirmation that the mail was received and read.
To turn off loading of graphics, go to the preferences window, select the "fonts & display" panel, and turn off "Automatically download HTML graphics".
When you receive a message with graphics, you can manually load the images by double-clicking the message to open it in a new window and clicking the "load graphics" button to the right of the title.
Alternately, you can select the command "Open in Browser" from the file menu to display the email in your web browser.
