Eudora rocks (or at least it did before it became a branded version of thunderbird with version 8.0). I loved it back then, though on the Mac the last Qualcomm version hiccups with IMAP4, my preferred protocaol. Sadly, there are no updates forthcoming for the 6.2.3 version, and I needed something that would run on Linux and FreeBSD as well as the Mac, so now I use mutt. It was a bear to configure properly, but I've got it very well-tuned now. Also I use claws-mail sometimes, but mutt is my favorite. It's really fast and almost infinitely configurable (though not pointy clicky like windows users like). I've even got scripts for OS X now that integrate mutt with the OS X graphics viewer, web browser, etc. And it works with my favorite text editor, jed. Eudora was as powerful but a heck of a lot easier to set up,and I didn't have to build it from source to make it work right, either. :) > > The Eudora I use is a WinDoZZe program. > >> Yes, my answer was right there in your headers, starng me in the face. >> If it was a snake, I'd have been bit, wouldn't I? :D > > Maybe the TOC definition was also.

I always try to avoid windows (unless I'm getting paid to fix it), it gives me a headache -- all that waiting, freezing and rebooting. Whenever I have to use it, I try to stay in cmd.exe. Feels more like home to me. But then, ~ is where the <3 is. :) Cheers, indi -- WARNING: This message may contain sarcasm, dark humor, disagreement, and honesty.
