Since everybody else seems to be wandering down memory lane: I first found Emailer on a cover CD from *Mac Format*, published out of England. At the time, I was volunteering at a refugee centre in Croatia, and would fly to and from via Heathrow. Every time I passed through, I'd hit the newsstands looking for stuff to read, and *Mac Format* was great, because it came with a CD full of shareware, and -- about every 2-3 months -- a full version of a program (although usually a program which the developer had just updated, and so the "free version" also came with an offer to upgrade to the most recent version at a discount.)
Come to think of it, virtually everything I run on Tertius (one of those G3 all-in-ones, which I believe was built for the education market), I originally found on those *Mac Format* cover discs: Emailer, GraphicConverter, iCab, PageSpinner, ZipIt... just about the only software I found "on my own" is Apple/ClarisWorks. Emailer works the way I think, and every other E-mail client I've ever used (on any OS) is incredibly clunky in comparison. (Although, before I discovered eMailer, the client of which I was most fond was a DOS package which could read and create SOUP packets. I think it was called NewsWerthy or something like that.) Among the things I like about Emailer is that it doesn't even attempt to read HTML files, so it's immune to viruses (and most spam, for that matter.) I'd love to see an OS X version with as similar an interface as possible, possibly with a few new features (like an extensions architecture, to allow third parties to built things like spam-reporting interfaces, PGP, or whatever.) For that matter, I think it would be brilliant if somebody could do a port to Windows, so we could tell people: "We've been able to handle mail like this on the Mac for over ten years. *Now* do you understand what you've been missing?"
