Emailer's last update was 1998, so any NDA's will have expired on this.
Outlook, as we all know, was derived from Emailer and its authors. The
Emailer Source code is covered by copyright and trade secret, however,
and Apple has stated it will not sell or release it, so those chances are
out the window.
Emailer is unfortunately dead as a product, regardless of how much a
handful of users use it. Fortunately it still works!
There was a third party who developed a similar product a couple years
ago, but I don't think finished it. The problem is getting a reliable
data storage inbox which does not become corrupted with large quantities
of email. All the major packages suffer from this, for reading discussion
boards, and while Emailer had its corruption phase, it was related to OS
8, and has not been a problem in a couple years, fortunately. So CE is
probably still the most reliable product for those with tens of thousands
of emails in their inbox. ;-)
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
