Eudora saves text files. But it won't run AppleScripts with mail actions. 
And, you have to double click on EVERY folder toe view the folders 
contents. Resize each window (the first time) A pain IMHO.

PowerMail is my choice for after Emailer. I haven't gotten it but after a 
recent test drive, I liked it. Probably still has a DB file instead of A 
text file. HOWEVER, why not use a product like PowerMail that has a large 
and well established AppleScript writing following. I would think it 
would be pretty easy to get, create or find, an AppleScript that would 
save your messages to archive as text files.

But if you are in X already, what about Apple's Mail program? I thought I 
was hearing that it had some nice improvements and that it filtered 
pretty well?

MailSmith seemed good but it was quite a bit more expensive than I was 
expecting. And, MailSmith always took a few seconds to display folders, 
calculate sizes, etc. I guess MS just "felt" a little slow.

One thing I have liked with Emailer is how fast it opens. I don't 
normally leave Emailer running all the time because it snaps open so 
fast. Also, Eudora's spell checker sucks, IMHO and PowerMail has no spell 
checker at all.
