Well, for one, most of them are simply extensions to exisiting settings. But
it would require the settings UI to be reworked, which would be a good thing
anyway. The only settings page I've ever seen worse than Eudora's is
Mulberry's for sheer intimidation value. But then, a LOT of Eudora needs to
be revamped.
I'd also like to see the dictionary get some real work too. This idiocy 'do
secret squirrel code' as a way to avoid getting the dictionary to be
properly done is *just* as bad as Cocoa applications being so dependent on
Cocoa to have their dictionaries nicely formatted, only with less of an
excuse.
I will of course, be ignoring sir delacour's habitual personal attacks on
anyone daring to criticize eudora, as if I had a life, it would involve palm
trees and beach sand, not computers.

onlookers. A minute later, in full view, they were both eaten by a killer
