The nice thing about Eudora is that it also strips attachments out of
emails and sores them in a separate folder.
If I want an attachment, I open the attachments folder and get
it. No need to open the email.
Plus all the settings for Eudora are stored in files so if I upgrade
a computer move to a different computer, I copy the folders from
within Eudroa, install it and copy the folders to the new
installation and I am good to go all filters, settlings etc. are
transfered over.

Modern email clients store either one email in one text file or one
email folder in one text file. The one email folder in one text file
method appends new emails to the end of the file with a separator mark
between each email. Lately the one email folder in one text file is
preferred because, with fewer files to open, it is more efficient.
These methods are all variations on what is called MBOX format. The
only exception to this sensible approach (that I know of) is M$ whose
email clients put everything in one huge and fragile database. This is
a variation on a method known as dumdum.
