In keeping with the classic Eudora tradition of hidden settings, Eudora OSE continues to offer users the ability to control some of the more obscure elements and esoteric aspects of the program’s behavior. These settings may be accessed in '''[[Documentation Conventions and Nomenclature|[Options/Prefs window]]] > Advanced >''' '''''General''''' : ''Config Editor''.
NOTE: If changing hidden preferences or creating custom ones is all new and mysterious, it is highly advisable to read through the following reference pages:
:* http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
:* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Modify_Thunderbird_settings
If you spend a lot of time exploring or tweaking hidden settings, the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9695/ ViewAbout] extension might also be useful. It adds a quick access toolbar button and opens in a tab instead of a separate window.

This page is organized alphabetically.
<code>penelope.attachments.alwaysShowAttachBox</code>
* Default: '''true'''
* In a normal compose message window, the message header fields take up the entire horizontal width. If you want to add an attachment, you can drag it onto the header bar and a container box will open up reducing the available header width and listing the attached files. Because this “initially hidden” state is in no way intuitive, because the horizontal space is wasted on vertically placed addresses, and because this box will appear anyway when attachments are added, the box is shown by default.
<code>penelope.copyFullAddresses</code>
* Default: '''true'''
* If you right-click on an email address in a message, there is an option to ''Copy Email Address''. By default, the function copies the associated name along with the address: ''Name <foo@bar.com>''.
* Using '''SHIFT+''' toggles the behavior to copy only ''foo@bar.com''.
* If the preference is set to '''OFF''', the behavior is reversed.
<code>penelope.mailbox.ignoreJunkColumnClick</code><br/>* Default: '''ON'''<code>penelope.mailbox.ignoreReadColumnClick</code><br/><code>penelope.mailbox.ignoreStarColumnClick</code>* The ''Junk Status'' column has an indicator icon which is These columns contain icons that are actually a button to toggle the junk status of the message in that rowbuttons as well as indicators. It is ’s quite easy to click into a mailbox window (e.g. to activate it) and accidentally junk messages you actually wish change things, so these settings are intended to add some security to keepthe interface. For safety’s sake, the * ''Junk Status'' default setting : '''ON'''. This disables the button functionality, making the image merely an indicator. To enable the button so it can be used to change the insuring that you won’t inadvertently junk status of a message, change the setting messages you want to '''OFF'''keep.* There are numerous ways besides the column icon to designate mail as junk (or not): . You can use the toolbar button, the context menu’s '''''Mark''''' controls, Cmd/Ctrl+J, or in '''Message > ''' '''''Junk'''''.* ''Star'' and ''Unread'' default: '''OFF'''. Since nothing destructive can result from accidentally clicking these icons, these settings are not disabled by default. If the preference is set to '''ON''', the message status can still be adjusted via the context menu’s '''''Mark''''' controls.
<code>penelope.mailbox.ignoreStarColumnClickshowLines.color</code>* Default: '''OFF#C0C0C0'''* The image in This preference controls the ''Starred'' column is actually a button and not just an indicator. Should you find that you have problems accidentally hitting color of the button when clicking into mailbox lines in a mailbox window, you table of contents.* Named HTML colors can change this setting to '''ON'''also be used. This will disable * Trivia: the button function of default color is the icon, leaving same as it as merely an indicator. If the button is disabled, the only way to star a message is via the context menu’s ''Mark'' controlswas in classic Eudora.
The left -aligned columns have their contents padded so that they line up with the text in the header. To achieve that same effect with the Subject column and maintain visual consistency across the UI, it is necessary to add just a skosh more padding to that column.
::<code>penelope.mailbox.columnPadLeft.subjectCol</code>
::* Default: '''3'''
If, for issues of personal taste, there are other columns you’d like to pad independently of the master list, you will need to create your own preferences and their values. The format for the preference names is:
::<code>penelope.mailbox.columnPadLeft.'''[column name]'''</code>
