I was using Eudora for quite a while. There is one feature in Eudora that is not in Thundeerbird, and in my case, it is critical. In Eudora, under the message filters, you can, like in Thunderbird, select several options. Among those present in Eudora, and not in Thunderbird, is the option to "autoprint", and even more importnat, to "Notify application". I work in the engineering department of a radio station in Michigan. We now receive critical emails from many agencies, including the Michigan State police for Amber Alerts. I use Eudora in the newsroom, as I can set up the filter using the subject line, and/or the "from" line to trigger the autoprint, and then I also click on "Notify Application", which triggers a simple batch file, which outputs an ascaii string to a dedicated rs-232 port, which then drives an external relay box. This can then trigger bells, flash lits, whatever. I would think in many peoples uses, they would like to have an autoprint on certain emails, and please look at the need of those of us who have to get time sensitive information on the air as soon as possible. We have to KNOW we ot the email, and the Eudora way works just fine. We do need a way to autoprint, and trigger an external box, either through the rs-232, or prefered, via a USB relay box. And I thank you for your time. Reproducible: Always
