How to stop displaying gmail headers?

March 22, 2007 2:19 PM

In Eudora, how do you eliminate seeing headers from gmail?

All of a sudden, I see a stringer of headers in Eudora at the beginning of messages sent to me from people with gmail accounts.

Previously, I'd set my x-header line so I'd only see the pertinent: from, to, subject, date.

Now this appears from gmail senders. I tried adding "X-DKIM" but it didn't work.

DKIM-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed/relaxed;
d=gmail.com; s=beta;
h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date ... etc.

Not a Eudora user. But: Everything up to the colon is the attribute name. Include "-Signature", perhaps?

And, what's the "X-" for? I'll bet that it's the convention of specifying a name that will never be added as part of a future email specification. It's future-proofing the data.

If Eudora is asking for the header to ignore, then put only "DKIM-Signature".

I don't know how you specify what headers you want to filter out in Eudora, but the header you want to filter out is "DKIM-Signature", not "X-DKIM".
