When I try think about the idea of eMailer becoming Outlook
Express ...
I can't shake the image of Daddy taking a photo of Mommy on the
rim of the Grand Canyon. Looking through the viewfinder,
composing the picture, he keeps asking her to take a step back,
and another step back, just one more step and it will be
perfect. Odd - she suddenly disappeared from the viewfinder.
That's Outlook Express.

That's not entirely accurate.
Emailer was killed off and replaced by an existing product,
Outlook Express for Mac, for the default email client. A chunk
of the Claris developers when Claris was closed down were hired
by MS for the Mac Business Unit. Some of the key developers of
Emailer (notably Jud Spencer), wrote Entourage.
But neither Outlook Express, nor Entourage were ever previously
Emailer. Entourage was at least written from the ground up by
some of the Emailer developers so you can consider it to be a
bit of a descendant of Emailer.
