Outlook Express was my favourite Macintosh email program, until I switched to Entourage, which was/is basically OE5 with To-Dos, Notes and Calendar functionality tacked onto it. OE5 is wonderfully flexible, nothing like the convoluted mess that is Outlook Express for Windows. > Claris finally and officially rolled into Apple (dissolving Claris) and some > of the developers went elsewhere. Actually, Claris changed its name to Filemaker and stopped development of all their products except Filemaker and HomePage. ClarisWorks was "bought" by Apple (along with its developers), and Emailer, as you've indicated, went on to become Outlook Express. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek http://www.jvdg.net/ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
