IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

The next step of this installation wizard will ask if you want to install Apple 
QuickTime 2.1.2 and/or Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 4.0. Please use the information 
below to help determine which component(s) you wish to install.

Eudora's standard message viewer supports basic HTML, such as text formatting and 
inline images. Installing QuickTime adds support to the standard viewer for inline
display of a wider range of JPEG images. Installing IE 4.0 adds an additional message 
viewer (hereinafter, the IE 4.0 viewer) to Eudora that can accurately display just 
about any HTML message you might receive. The specific capabilities of the two 
viewers are listed near the end of this text.

* Why should I care about displaying HTML messages?
HTML messages (email messages that use HTML, the language of web pages) are
becoming more and more common. The latest web browsers allow a web page to 
be sent as an HTML message. If someone sends you an HTML message that uses 
advanced formatting such as tables, then to see it as it was intended 
you need to use Eudora's IE 4.0 viewer, as opposed to the standard viewer.

* If Eudora has two viewers, how will I tell it which one to use?
Just check or uncheck the "Use Microsoft's viewer" checkbox in the Viewing Mail panel 
of the Options dialog, under the Tools menu in Eudora. The checkbox is checked by
default if IE 4.0 or 3.0 is on your system. (Eudora's use of IE 3.0 is explained below.)

* What's the impact of installing QuickTime?
It'll take about a minute and use 6 megabytes of disk space. Again, this adds 
support to the standard viewer for inline display of a wider range of JPEG 
images. It has no effect when "Use Microsoft's viewer" is selected.

* What's the impact of installing IE 4.0?
If you install IE 4.0 via this installer, it'll take up to 10 minutes, depending on the 
speed of your computer, and consume about 35 megabytes of disk space. It doesn't install
the full package that you would get by installing IE 4.0 from Microsoft's web site. The
only effect on your desktop is that the channel bar will show up. It will not make IE 4.0
your default web browser unless your current default browser is an earlier version of IE. 
The specific viewing capabilities that you gain in Eudora are listed below.

The IE 4.0 installation performed by this installer is a silent (non-interactive) 
one. If you encounter any problems with it, refer to the Installation Notes section
of the Readme.txt file in the folder where Eudora 4.0 is installed on your hard drive.

In order to install IE 4.0 on Windows NT 4.0, you need to:
1. Already have installed Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 on your system, and
2. Have administrator rights on your system.
 
* What if I already have Internet Explorer?
If you already have IE 4.0 on your system, Eudora will take advantage of it 
automatically, so there's no need to have this installer reinstall it.

If you already have IE 3.0 on your system, you have two choices:
1. You can leave it alone, in which case Eudora will use IE 3.0 if you choose "Use 
    Microsoft's viewer" in Eudora's Options dialog. However, this doesn't provide all the 
    functionality you get with the IE 4.0 viewer (or even the standard viewer) - see the 
    details below.
2. You can upgrade to IE 4.0 via this installer. This will upgrade your IE 3.0 to 
    version 4.0 (on Windows 95, this won't take effect until after you reboot). You won't 
    lose any functionality, and all your IE settings and preferences will be preserved.

If you have aversion of IE earlier than 3.0 on your system, installing IE 4.0 will 
not affect it. However, you must have IE 3.0 or above in order for the "Use Microsoft's 
viewer" option to take effect.

* What does Eudora's standard viewer support?
+ Bold, italic, and underlined text
+ Different font faces, sizes, and colors
+ Fixed-width text
+ Left and right justification and centering
+ Multiple indentation levels
+ Bulleted lists
+ Hyperlinks (clicking on a URL launches your browser and takes you to a web page) 
+ Horizontal ruling lines
+ Inline display of BMP images and some JPEG images

* What does QuickTime add to the standard viewer?
Inline display of a wider variety of JPEG images.

* What does the IE 4.0 viewer do that the standard one doesn't?
+ Displays GIF, PNG and a wider variety of JPEG images inline
+ Automatic inline display of images from web sites
+ Numbered lists
+ Tables and forms
+ International character sets
+ Java applets, JavaScript, and ActiveX controls
+ Dynamic HTML
+ Other embedded objects (audio, video)

* What DON'T I get if I use IE 3.0 instead of IE 4.0?
+ Dynamic HTML
+ Editing of received messages
+ Running Eudora plug-ins (such as text translators) on received messages
If you're using IE 3.0, you can still edit received messages, and run 
Eudora plug-ins on them, provided you first switch to the standard viewer by 
unchecking "Use Microsoft's viewer" in the Options dialog.

* What does inline image support mean?
This means that if there's a picture embedded in the middle of a message, it'll display 
that way. Otherwise, the picture will be an attachment and will display in a separate 
window when you click on it.

* What if I want to install QuickTime or IE 4.0 later?
Just run this installer again when you're ready. When you get to the next panel, check 
the additional component(s) that you want to install and uncheck anything that you've 
already installed (probably Eudora Pro and PureVoice).

* What if I want to read this text again without re-running the installer?
It appears in the Eudora directory as "MSIE and QuickTime Info.txt."
