Hi,
I've posted a little and I am the lowly owner of 2 760els and an 760c plus an
acer that's trying to lose it's screen, but that isn't why I'm writing.
I am not a total computer illiterate but have learned all by doing.
When I subscribed to this list
someone?? told me that Eudora was preferable
to outlook (and not to put on my fancy html stationary!) .
I was happy with outlook, I loved outlook, but since he
knew more than I did and I don't like Bill Gates I went to eudora.
It forwarded a letter yesterday
that shouldn't have been forwarded to someone else
because of my faulty filters so I don't like eudora so much anymore.
I managed to intercept the letter so all family members are still speaking
to me but
it was close.
I haven't had as many problems with virus attacks since I changed though??
or is it my imagination??
So my question is............... ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh (finally)
What do you all use for a mail program. Is it easy, and is it cheap or free??
Thanks,
Teresa
