Nothing is perfect, mind you; I think its news client stuff lacks some polish and there are a couple of design choices with which some have quibbled (myself included) but those speak more to the philosophy of the product than bad ideas. I use it on my PC at work and will never go back to Outlook unless forced to by the Powers-That-Be. :-) Eudora has become too cluttered and is showing its age in several places, notably filtering and window management. Over all it is the best of the free clients out there. Certainly, it's the only one I'd recommend as a replacement for PowerMail should someone decide to switch. -- Tim Lapin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
