That makes sense from Apple's point of view, I guess.
I do not look forward to increasing amounts of unreadable mail coming into
Eudora after Mac OS X gets into people's hands. [And I don't plan to give
up Eudora any time soon, and I have no hardware upon which to run Mac OS X.]
I'll just have to go back to telling people to send me readable mail if they
want me to read it, I guess (as I did with HTML mail and Claris Emailer).
[While I'm using Entourage for this list...to get my feet wet, I'm using
Eudora for everything else. I rather like Entourage, but the single
database is a show stopper for me (possible corruption forcing rollback to
uncorrupted backup, plus constantly backing up old data in incremental
backups).]
