I use and love Eudora Pro. I did get the Klez sent here and unwittingly clicked on an infected mail one time (well not clicked as I actually work with keyboard commands, LOL) and surprisingly enough it just showed me the letter with the link to the mystery attachment. Now I'm not one who EVER just clicks on attachments. If it's a jpg I open my picture viewer and navigate to my attachments directory. If it's anything else I may drag and drop it fromt eh attachments into my notetab pro and scan the contents for clues. Is how I discovered the Klez worm for myself in the first place! Anyway, if you do go with Eudora, reset the attachments folder for someplace very easy to find and teach the users to examine attachments from there rather than from within the mail. Teach them to open the application then use the open command in the application to open the relevant attachment. You can avoid a LOT of problems if you just get them to let go of that left mouse button although I know that may be impossible. I have one client who double clicks everything every time. i cannot get it through to him that double clicking should not be used for all left clicks! That finger just bounces anyway! Oh, no, he's not stupid. He's really quite intelligent, on other areas. He puts his energy elsewhere than his computer. I wish I were a glow worm, 'Cause a glow worm's never glum.
