Now that MailForge is dead, I've been pondering... How many people would be interested in a faithful reproduction of Mac Eudora 6.2? 10? 100?, 1000?
Probably 100, by the likes of the FB page. I use Mac Eudora v6.2 every day, since the mid 90s. I'm a pro software developer. I have built stuff of this complexity a number of times over, including a Mac email client a loooong time ago for Digital Equipment Corporation. It's not easy to build a replacement. It would take EASILY over a year for me to do it. If I did do it, I'd stick to keeping the same workflow and features, and simply just "Freshen-up" the look and feel (but not change it like MailForge did). Thoughts, comments? Collaborators? -- I'd do this project open source, because I love Eudora mail and want it to live on indefinitely.
