Who's paying the Eudora group? QUALCOMM? Mozilla?
One would think that they were being paid before anyway and nothing  
moved quickly for years, then, Why would it move faster now that it  
goes to a foundation that relies on open source arms and brains to  
build things? Nothing bad with that, only slow.

The feeling that Eudora was abandoned years ago —soon after Mac OS X  
started to dominate the platform—is still strong in my book. Maybe  
stronger now. They're now making it official with this recent  
announcement.
