I must also lament about missing CE. I have been using Apple Mail

Why didn 't Apple fix or update the CE?
My understanding was, Emailer got killed off along with all the other
Claris products when Claris was closed down. They kept Claris Works,
renamed it AppleWorks, as they needed some kind of general
productivity apps to offer cheap (now they have iWork). And Filemaker
was moved to its own company as it was really the only profitable
product in the Claris line.
I'm sure it didn't help Emailer any that at the same time Apple was
making a large deal with MS and MS wanted Outlook Express to be pushed
on the Mac, so as much as Apple people deny it, I'm sure that was seen
as a bonus in the move. Also OS X was nearing and Mail.app was the
NeXT mail client. Jobs being Jobs I'm sure wanted to see nothing act
as competition to Mail.app being "the" mail client offered by Apple
for OS X.
