When I recv a message with a colorful background or some pictures in the

The reason is that Eudora stores those pix in a Eudora sub-folder named
"Embedded". To resend them, you have to manually embed them again from that
folder. (Click Edit/Insert/Picture). Backgrounds will probably not transmit
as intended. Eudora is not designed for the fancy stuff.

Eudora sacrifices some functionality in return for a much leaner and
therefore more stable program than OE. More complexity= less reliability,
in general terms. Many non-vital "bells and whistles" are (presumably) not
included in Eudora in favour of simplicity. Of which I'm all in favour, as
a general rule.
