Hangers-0n and remaining Lurkers attention:
You recall how, over the years, we've exchanged our thoughts about
wanting Emailer to "somehow" be made to reappear, enabled to run in
later editions of the Mac OS.
And,yes, some have, and can, run Emailer under Classic.
But with the Intel chips Mac, Apple no longer supports Classic.

And, an earlier (Monday, Sept 22, 2008 editon of Mac/Window
ran this:
>Running old Mac OS on PCs; Add Classic to Leopard
>Monday, September 22, 2008
>Michael Goodine has posted a couple of tutorials to running Mac OS 9 and
>earlier on Windows PCs using two open-source PowerPC emulators. He has a [
>http://emaculation.com/sheepshaver/index.html ]guide for using
>SheepShaver, and another for [ http://emaculation.com/basilisk/index.html
>]using Basilisk II. (We have some information on [

>PCs, though we haven't updated it recently.)
>It's worth pointing out that SheepShaver and Basilisk II come in versions
>for Mac OS X, which lets you run Mac OS 9 and earlier on Intel Macs, and
>can act as a replacement for Mac Classic, which is no longer included with
>Mac OS X 10.5 and later. Referring to the Mac versions of the PowerPC
>emulators, Goodine said "hey both run pretty well." He points out:
>Actually, the development of both of those emulators has veered in that
>direction [running OS 9 in Leopard]. I think that Mac users have more
>interest in the emulators now. The Windows ports are described as
>"experimental" these days.
While I don't have enough computer smarts to begin to do this , it might
entice some of you to give it a try, for Emailer.
Other people have remarked how they would use it to resurrect work
they've done in Pagemaker and Appleworks... which, if they could be run
in Leopard
(as suggested) would save a lot of people grief.
