Obviously Pegasus on the PC side is much better than the pathetic piece of
crap we Mac users have. I have to use Pmail to get departmental email off
our Novell server, but for 99.999% of my email needs, I use Eudora Pro.
Gawd, I sound like a commercial for Colgate toothpaste! :)

Eudora Pro does the same thing; the shareware version does not. I'm not
nuts about the interface either, but at least for Mac users, there's not
much choice for internet mail.
Speaking of the Frame/Pagemaker wars (and at the risk of blowing my
Mac-Geek credentials), is there a Mac version of Frame? I've never seen it
before. I just got PM6 yesterday and I'm quite pleased with it. So far.
