Default Eudora to Become Open-Source Freeware

Qualcomm on Wednesday joined up with the Mozilla Foundation to announce
it is transitioning Eudora into an open source e-mail client that will
be based upon Thunderbird. In turn, all future versions of Eudora will
be free and Qualcomm will discontinue the current paid client.

I've not tried Eudora for years; gave up when it got bloated with
the "mood" rubbish.

Assuming it's still the same size, it might be worth trying again
if someone at Mozilla manages to unbloat it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but what does "distighusing" mean?

One thing that sort of attracts me to Eudora is the way it handles encoded
attachments and embedded files. They are stripped out of the email itself
(reducing the size of the mailbox files) and placed in separate Attachments
and Embedded folders. This makes attached / embedded files a lot more
accessible. I'd like to see that feature in Thunderbird. It would mean a
departure from the MBOX mailbox format standard but a new standard could be
established.
