Of course the company pushes software, and then acts as if that software
doesn't exist anymore. The truth of the matter is the software no longer
does exist anymore. As soon as software is no longer being developed. It is
a dead product.
Fixing bugs in software requires research and development. would
you prefer
research and development with a program that is currently being developed,
And if accessibility problems do arise GW micro can work with the developer
of the program to resolve such issues, or would you prefer them to do the
R&D on programs which are no longer being developed, and
therefore cannot be
fixed?
The fact of the matter is, like it or not. Eudora is no longer being
developed, and therefore newer e-mail alternatives need to be sought out.
I submit that this is the same thing as you were speaking of below with
Windows 98 and older Windows 98 applications

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.
