Eudora Is Going Open Source

This should either really bug or please Eudora users (Simone, you out there?). If I used Eudora, I know it'd please me as it'd only improve the proejec.t

Qualcomm Inc. and Mozilla Corp. on Wednesday jointly announced that future versions of Eudora, Qualcomm's long-running e-mail client, would be based on Mozilla's open-source Thunderbird code. The move effectively puts an end to the proprietary Eudora, which launched in 1988 and once had a significant share of the e-mail software market.

Developers from both companies will work on Mozilla's e-mail project, which will feed to Eudora and Thunderbird. The first open-source Eudora will release during the first half of 2007, said the pair.

Oh, I use it and so does the office I'm at. This is good news. Not being Outlook is good enough and now free for all is even better.
