How to Insert an Image in Eudora Stationery

By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

Stationery in Eudora offers a great way to make writing repeat emails a lot easier. You set up a stationery as a message template once, and can use it for new message indefinitely, saving repetitive typing.

Of course, you can enter default text in your stationery, add a default recipient and maybe format the text, too. But what about graphics, an oft-needed logo, for example? If you start a new stationery by selecting New... from the stationery window's menu, Eudora refuses to insert images. Fortunately, there is a way around this oddity that lets you compose your stationery comfortably and still insert pictures.
