Eudora integration problem with Opera and also need cookie info

After finally giving up on Firefox as my main browser, I decided to go ahead and set Opera as the default. I have always used Eudora 5.1 for Windows as my mail app and never had this problem. When you click a link or choose "send to browser" on the right click menu in Eudora it will automatically load that URL or send that E-mail to the default browser. Doesn't work with Opera. The Opera window is brought to the front (only if already open) but nothing is loaded. If Opera is not open nothing happens. IE and Firefox will open and display the page at the clicked URL or the html version of the E-mail I am asking Eudora to send to browser. Any suggestions?

Also, I can't to seem to find the info I need on cookies in Opera. Is there a way to bring up the list of all domains (as in other browsers) that have cookies configured (based on the response given when prompted on initial cookie setting for a particular domain/sub-domain) and see how each cookie is currently being handled. When I go to the list of cookies I can't see the status. I want to be able to look at a list of domain cookies (persistent and session) and see for each one whether it is shows always block, prompt, always allow, etc. Where is this info?

Using Opera for Windows 32-bit version 11.64 build 1403 on every Windows platform from W2K thru W7 64-bit. Same problems on all

TIA.

After a couple of hours playing around I found this apparent solution to the Eudora problem. I looked at the pertinent file associations and all had indeed been changed to Opera and appeared to be correct. Eudora was using the 1 URL:HTTP and 3 XHT* file types for the link and "send to browser" functions respectively. After trying several fixes which did nothing or generated errors, I tried this for the heck of it:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe" "%1"

was simply changed to

"C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe" %1

with no quotes for the command line parameter, but quotes for the program location. I first made this change to just the URL:HTTP file type and then links would work but "send to browser" would not. I knew these were sent as XHT* docs, so I changed all 3 XHT file types to show the same command line with quotes deleted only for the %1 parameter. Then "send to browser" was also working as it always had before I set Opera to the default browser. Can't really explain how this one change made the difference, but it apparently did. Maybe this will help someone else. I still need help on that cookie question if anybody knows the answer.
