I am on Eudora 7.

Is it better to go to Eudora 8 or to Thunderbird? Does Eudora 8 add
enough to Thunderbird to make it worth my while?

Wodering if it's possible to go from Eudora 8 to Thunderbird without a
lot of trouble if Qualcomm got slow in implementing features?

Don't know about Eudora 8 but I switched to TB as my Eudora 7 was
becoming painfully slow to type letters in spite of doing all
recommended fixes.

I do agree with you; I too use version 7.1.0.9. I find absolutely
NOTHING wrong/outdated about it...I can't understand why some savvy
outfit just doesn't BUY it from Qualcomm, and just keep SELLING it!

Can you detail a bit what "The Bat" is?

TIA!

IMAP has issues in Eudora 7.x. HTML composition blows. If you don't
use IMAP, and never want to compose in HTML, you're probably golden.

Another option is to run TB with the Penelope plugin. Some functions
get left out when you just use the plugin, but i'm not sure which those are.
