Ah. Well, you didn't say anything about Eudora. Wasn't that
discontinued years ago?
Nono! Eudora is alive and well. :) Some of us like the controls in Eudora
so we don't have viruses and html loading in our emails.
I sort of assumed you needed th

Will things slow down now? Or will Apple decide that this rapid pace is

Thanks for that info, Tom. It sounds like Apple has decided to play the

Eudora was taken over by the folks at thunderbird, has anyone tried out the
beta? I see no plain dates on the site, so I'm not sure if they are
actively working on it still.
The WinEudora list is not recommending it. They recommend sticking with

Sorry...*where* you put attachments? In the email?
Eudora has always separated attachments from the email and stored them in a
separate file. Those of us who are used to that prefer it and don't want
our attachments stored with the emails. I think T

Don't be a jerk Mike. Lots of folks run old software for good reasons. I
