I would have to say that we are dwarfed by the Apple 2 community, and most probably the Amiga community as well. But, I know that a while back (year?) one of the Mac web sites did an informal poll of email clients used today by people on the Mac. I think Emailer came in #3 with something like 25% of the vote (the list of possible clients was a dozen or so, IIRC, Emailer was beat by Outlook Express and Eudora). I would venture to say that although I don't think the membership of this list is very big, I do think that the Emailer user base is still probably rather large... at least considering it is rapidly getting out of date (no SMTP Auth support, and can't handle a @ in a username), and has be EOL'd now for a number of years (4... 5... ancient in computer terms). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
