         I don't have a clue what they're talking about, as Eudora is
perhaps the *most* adherent to internet standards of any e-mail software
available.

         It also helps that it allows you to manage multiple e-mail
accounts & personalities, filter messages, spell check, save folders, use
templates, signatures, etc. Its very, very powerful and flexible.

         I'd like to hear it.

         I don't know about "converting" your Outlook per se, but with
Eudora you can easily save to text any & all messages.
