Eudora Light -- The de facto standard for mail clients by sheer
popularity. The postcard-ware version lacks mail filtering but
retains many of the same features as Pegasus Mail. Eudora lacks
support for UUencode (although this feature is found in the
commercial version). The 'light' version does include rudimentary
mailing list capabilities (by utilizing its nested nicknaming feature),
but they are not on the same level as Pegasus Mail. Eudora Light
also has the ability to queue mail and poll outgoing (but not
incoming) mail in the background. The latest releases have added
many important features including a 32-bit native version, offline
capability, improved appearance (especially for initially setting up
Eudora Light), a revised toolbar, and capabilities for launching
attachments and URLs from within messages. The strength of
Eudora Light lies in its ease of use, but, unfortunately, its
postcard-ware version still lacks a few of the features
necessary. - Forrest Stroud Review

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! I am really upset with both Stroud's and Qualcomm for their lack of explicit notification about this release moving from a freeware offering to a 30-day trial period one. If that weren't bad enough, since I had been using the freeware version (V1.5.4) for several months, the new version automatically expired my trial period, leaving me to spend a significant amount of time restoring the old version. This was a highly unprofessional way to attempt to force a user from what was
reviously a freeware offering to a trial version. Needless to say I will no longer download any other versions nor will I ever consider migrating to the Pro-version. I will now begin to migrate, albiet slowly, to the mailer that comes free with Netscape.
SHAME ON YOU!

Hi,
I recently had my provider install Eudora Lightbon my hard drive because I couldn't get results with Netscape mail. It was free so I don't have any booklet on what it does. There are alot of features that I donn't understand. Where can I get info about the Eudora Light program? Thanks,
Dick Sigston (Siggy)

Thanks pthompson for letting me know that this newer
version of Eudora Lite is deadware. I wonder when these
people are going to figure out that deadware is what they
are supposed to use on their commercial produts.
Anyway thanks again - saved me the trouble of the 4Meg
download of so-called Eudora LITE 32 bit.

I have used both Pegasus and Eudora Light for years.
Eudora has been insidiously adding features throughout that
time, leaving it far ahead of Pegasus. In addition to
the filters the programs share, Eudora has PureVoice
allowing convenient voice attachment, inernal HTML reader, and now
an easy PGP encryption plug-in. Pegasus has been standing pat the
entire time. Do you ever update your reviews?
