Just curious: how many Mac users use Firefox instead of Safari?
I like its letting me suppress all forms of animated ads, and its 
fine control of preferences (about:config).

I use Eudora because I prefer the Mac style with separate windows to 
the Windows Explorer style with its directory tree in a window pane, 
and because it's easy to read a lot of mail with keyboard shortcuts 
that Mail.app has rejected so far.
It's too bad that Apple feel they have to ape the Microsoft style. 
Probably a marketing thing. :-(
I always try each new version of Mail.app, but go back to Eudora 
after a while, using M.a only to send occasional utf8 Chinese text 
(Eudora receives it OK).
