Eudora 6.0 Email Client Final Released I.ve been using Eudora 6.0 beta builds as my main email client for several months, and it's the best Eudora yet, with powerful new features to combat spam (paid mode only - see below), and to handle the ever-growing flood of email volume. IMHO, Eudora is the best all-round Mac email client for either OS X or Classic (OS 9 and later), and version 6.0 further enhances its already formidible desirability and capability. New in Eudora 6.0: • SpamWatch: (Paid mode only) Easily and automatically filters out junk mail. Eudora 6.0 puts spam into a predetermined "Junk" mail box. 
• Content Concentrator: Gets to the heart of an email thread - at a glance. • Contextual Filing: Select a word within a message, and with one click, file it in a folder or mailbox of the same name, or containing that word. • Mailbox Drawer: (Mac OS X only) Convenient access to all mailboxes from any mailbox window. • New Toolbar Icons: Upgrade to the new icon look. Or, if preferred, the option to maintain the classic look is also provided. 
Returning good stuff in Eudora: Fast, Powerful Search: Search through thousands of messages in seconds, using multiple search criteria. Enhanced Filters: Thousands of combinations available for sorting and organizing your mail box contents. Virus Protection: Eudora doesn't allow anything to run from your mail unless you want it to, which stops viruses and trojan horses cold. Eudora also warns users about opening potentially dangerous content. 
Drag and Drop Attachments: Drag attachments from an email on your desktop or from your desktop into an email. Formatting and Styles: You can generate styled text (font, color, size, style, margins, etc.) from the Text menu. You can also paste in styled text. Styles are maintained when included in replies and forwarded messages. In-line spell checking: Eudora highlights the misspelled words in your message. You can review, override and ad words to your dictionary. Color Labeling: Assign colors to sort your mail either manually or automatically using filters. Customize your Toolbar: Arrange the toolbar layout, add or remove function keys. Mail Sort: Sort the contents of a mailbox by clicking on a column header. You can choose to sort by Sender, Date, Subject, Label color, etc. Import: Easy import from other common email clients. Kerberos V Authentication: One-time security login for site licensees. Eudora Sharing Protocol (ESP): Automatically sync and share files with family, friends and co-workers. No need for a separate server or resending large attachments. Powerful Address Book: Automatic email address listings. Enter custom fields and multiple nicknames. Drag and drop nicknames to the toolbar for quick new message creation. Integrated VCard support. MoodWatch: Let's you know about the flame content in incoming and outgoing emails. Email Usage Stats: offers private, personal and interesting insight to a user's day-to-day email activity and patterns. Multi-tasking: Compose, receive and send mail simultaneously. By checking and sending mail as a background operation, Eudora lets you work in other applications while your email is transferring. Automatic Name and Address Completion: Eudora automatically completes the recipient name you are typing using information from your Address Book. Task Progress Window: Monitor task activity progress when sending or checking mail. Personalities: You can create various names from which you send and receive email with the Personalities settings. As an example, you might use one personality (email address name) for friends and family and another personality for business correspondence. Animated GIF Images: (Mac only) Turn on this feature in the Fonts & Display Setting to view animated GIF images. IMAP: Internet Message Access Protocol allows you to access email stored on a remote server. Using IMAP you can switch from computer to computer and still see the same Eudora interface from multiple locations. LDAP Directory Services: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) allows you to look up contacts using LDAP servers such as WhoWhere.

Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Email Client Released Mozilla Thunderbird is a redesign of the integrated Mozilla App-Suite mail component. The goal is to leverage much of the existing functionality of that product to produce a stand-alone mail application that is simple and extensible, while the Mozilla ThunderBird browser becomes a standalone application rather than part of a suite. I'm personally not a big fan of the three-window email client user interface motif, but I like ThunderBird about as well as any of these I've sampled. ThunderBird is also very fast. However, I find that its insistence on configuring just one smtp server for all accounts just will not work with my ISP. The Mozilla folk really need to work on allowing separate smtp servers to be configured for each account, as with other email clients. 
The focus of this second milestone release of ThunderBird is to improve on the stability, performance, and polish of the 0.1 release. While there is much more work yet to do, the developers are excited about recent progress and anxious to share their latest efforts with the community. Owing to the maturity of the foundational code of the app-suite, Mozilla Thunderbird is already very usable; however, the status of this release is pre-alpha, and as such, is assumed to have defects. In addition to the feature set found in Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird has several new features and improvements to make your mail and new experience better. Highlights include:
• The ability to customize your toolbars the way you want them. Choose View / Toolbars / Customize inside any window.
New in this version:
System requirements:
Mozilla Thunderbird is freeware

Textfiles from Safari One more bit on Safari saving text Charles, Call it my provincialist Bluenoser upbringing, but I do enjoy having you "around" to chat with (despite your woefully misled political views ;) ) On the matter of saving text via Safari, I tend to go with the snippet method, then drag the snippets into BBEdit for cleanup. I'll have to try and make more use of the Services menu, though, since that's obviously more useful. In OS 9, we had a little utility upon which one could drag-and-drop snippets, which would turn them into nicely formatted text documents. Darned if I can remember what it was...
ciao,
Mark Rushton
Hi Mark;
I enjoy our exchanges too, notwithstanding our political dissonances. ;-)
OS X Services is addictive, expecially when used with a powerful program like DEVONthink.
That snippet app -- wouldn't have been Znippetizer would it? Znippetizer supports OS X.
