    Which is how it should be, because, obviously, one should not trust a program with no updates in the last two decades to do well with
    security.

    Of course, totally agree. I don't run POP3 outside of my firewall, and
    not interpreting HTML helps keep things secure. Securer?

    I did a lot with Eudora in the '90s. I worked at a Mac shop that ran a
    LAN-based email system called "QuickMail" that needed 5 systems to
    support 70 people - one was a usenet gateway, one a Compuserve gateway,
    one for supporting mail clients and a dedicated SMTP gateway.

    I built a BSD/OS box on a 486 desktop, set up Sendmail, Qpopper and
    Eudora clients. We found a Quickmail to mbox converter so we could
    convert email. Then, we created a company address book and pointed
    everyone's eudora.ini file to it.

    Later, we set up a company NNTP server, which hosted departmental
    groups, product groups, and one called "gossip" that ended up taking
    the whole thing down. :)
