I'm still using Emailer at work because I'm still running OS 9. When (if?) I move this machine to OS X (its a PM 9600 with a G3 card, and I have a G4 sitting here waiting to be installed), I'll still likely run Emailer in Classic. The simple reason, it does what I need it to do, I'm comfortable with it, and probably most important, I have a bunch of AppleScripts that I've written to automate tasks and work with Emailer. Changing to another mail client means rewriting the scripts, and frankly, why fix what ain't broke. I am the only person at my office still running Emailer, and one of two still running OS 9, everyone else has moved to OS X and Mail.app. This was all my doing, it was my choice to move them to OS X and my choice to change them to Mail. But to be fair, there was only ever one other person running Emailer to begin with, everyone else was using Eudora Lite 3.x which I was happy to get rid of. The one person running Emailer could have kept it under Classic, but I decided to move them to Mail to make support easier (the more people running the same application, the less headache for me to support them). It should also be noted, at home, where I now run an Intel iMac as my primary machine, I left Emailer. I had three choices. 1: Run emailer on my old iMac where it ran nicely in classic, 2: Run Emailer via SheepShaver or Basilisk on the Intel iMac, or 3: Change to a new mail client. After testing all three options, I settled with #3, changing to a new mail client. I switched to Mail.app. I also didn't dislike Thunderbird or MailSmith, but they each lost out for their own reasons. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
