Hi Walter,
I cannot tell you the advantages of OE over Eudora because I never used the latter.
I only know that OE5 is much better than OE4 was & that it meets my needs & is very
straight forward.
Also, I have formed this oppinion based upon what users of both have said on the
lists.
It sounds like attachments are easier to handle thru OE rather than Eudora.

Harry, what advantage would I have in using oe5 instead of eudora?
My biggest problem that I was having with eudora and jfw, was I kept
loosing focus, and jumping out of message text into the tree view, but
somebody gave me a good tip to hide the tree view, and now I don't loose
focus anymore. While jfw's scripts don't work good with eudora, thanks to
some nice people that modified those scripts, the modified scripts work
quite well.
