Hmm - I got Eudora Lite to support multiple ISPs along with multiple
mailboxes - but to do the multiple ISP thing was a real pain (renaming
.ini files) - which is why I called it clunky.

Pro is a nice combo, and does just about anything you need it to. I just
find that my current "freebie" on Win95/98 does just about everything I
need (including deleting folders if I'm not careful ... :( )

Now, the "term" vt100 program supplied with Windows horrible, and I use
WinQVT from home to talk to Sneezy, but that's even _more_ off topic!

I know this has all been off-topic a bit, but since we all have to use
email to communicate, I think it's valuable to get the different
opinions.
