There are 2: - Finder Mail, apparently dead - Nisus Email for 9 & X, which is definitely worth a try (allows you to use for example the Finder and any tool or applescript to manage messages, Sherlock to index/search content, and ANY app to edit and send from: the whole mac becomes your mailer) Nisus also make Nisus Writer, which has (had ?) the similar advantage of using resource forks the SimpleText way (all formatting, images, etc. are stored in the resource fork, and plain text in the data fork, so any program on any platform can read that, loosing only the features that they might not allow anyway). 4/12/02 Dave Groover : >My response, Eudora Unless I missed something, Eudora does NOT store messages as individual text files unless specifically asked to (which any mailer can do too). It stores standard mbox "mailboxes" that are really some sort of uncompressed text-based mail database (messages appended in chronological order, somewhat similar to a digest). Those are only practical using Eudora or some other compatible mailer. This is not what Chip and others want (being able to manage/search/access individual messages and attachments from any program as individual files). ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
