Actually Eudora and Thunderbird are not alike at all whatsoever. They
only similarities they have is the fact that they both do email. If you
take some reassigning of hot keys into play, you can make Thunderbird
look and feel more like Eudora, but still, they are not the same.
Sure, Eudora 8 and 9 are open source, but they are basically just
Thunderbird with the Penelope extension which anyone can get without the
Eudora nae.

I respectfully submit that this is typical chasing your tail response to
a problem.
There is no reason eudora shouldn't work with we, it works beautifully
with jaws.
Thunderbird works with we, and isn't it supposed to be a very similar
engine?
Eudora has worked well with older versions of we, with 6.1 and earlier.
Email clients aren't that complex.
So telling someone they have to quit or change an email program that has
worked for years with standard windows api stuff and such isn't the
solution.
The solution is for the bugs to be fixed in we 7.
Anyway, if a product isn't being developed anymore, but is still
available, and lots of folks use it, well, it's not a moving target any
more is it?
And if something used to work but doesn't anymore, that's a regression.
It's not like someone wanting to run old 98 apps on an xp system where
the whole os changed, we're talking an email client.
We're talking list views and browse mode if you use the mocrosoft
viewer, we're talking more or less standard tool bars, and such.
So gw can fix this if they want to and if there's enough call for it
from the users.
I love it how these companies push things for ever, and then all of a
sudden that product doesn't exist anymore.
Sometimes it's more about polotics than access, or of course the dollar
bill.
Eudora meets my needs, and there are still issues with outlook express
and thunderbird, but eudora has some distinct advantages in that it's
easy to treat it in a modular fashion, grabbing the whole folder and
saving your mail easily without having to piece-meal your address book
and other settings, with outlook and tb stuff is somewhat buried in
windows, and eudora is a mature program even if they're not developing
it anymore.
So, I think when issues with listview crashes and other core issues in
window-eyes are addressed, many of the eudora issues will go away.
I hope I didn't ofend anyone, but that's how I see the truth as it stands.

I must point out that this product is no longer under development.
Therefore, you might find it advantageous to upgrade to a newer e-mail
client.
I highly recommend Microsoft Outlook if you have a copy of Microsoft
Office
2007.
If not, Windows Mail is a good alternative, otherwise known as Outlook
express.
I also understand that Thunderbird is an excellent e-mail client.
I am sorry, but it sounds to me like an upgrade is in order

Subject: Eudora and Window-Eyes 7.0
Hi GW Staff, and Everyone,
As I'm trying to read email that is in my inbox, as soon as another
message comes in, Window-Eyes automatically goes to the top of the
email, and then I have to try and find my place again, in the email.
This is very frustrating. Is there something I can do to change this,
orkeep it from happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.
Regards,
Pat Ferguson
