I see that something calling itself a beta of Eudora 8.0 is now
available as part of the Penelope open source project.

I have fond memories of running Eudora on Windows for a couple of years
so this project is quite interesting to me and I may have to give it a
try sometime. Has anyone tried running this suite?

It looks a lot like Thunderbird with a different (but not native, so
don't think Camino and Firefox) theme.

No, it has got some of eudora.

They have taken some of the stupid things that eudora always did wrong, and
added the really irritating user interface of thunderbird (yes, I double
clicked on my mailbox because I wanted a whole new copy of the window). In
the process they have got rid of some of the user interface niceties that
made eudora survive this long.



Well done chaps
