Eudora 8.0.0 Beta 6

Eudora is the best email program for people who get lots of email. If you're not one of those people now, you will be soon. So, take control of your email before it takes control of you. Eudora is more than a way to send and receive messages - it's a powerful email management tool with features to increase your productivity and enhance your communications.

ScamWatch combats "phishing" schemes that use disguised URL's to gather personal information. Eudora now detects if the URL in the link differs suspiciously from the host name and warns you to exercise caution before making the connection.

Version 8 of is now open source and based on Thunderbird. The Penelope project's intention is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It's *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.

We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.

Includes Penelope version 0.5a3.
Using Thunderbird 3.0b2 source code.

MAILBOX WINDOW
--------------
- Better way to remember the states of the folder and thread panes when switching between message and mailbox tabs.
- Added the pref "penelope.attachments.detachOnDblClick" which controls whether double-clicking on attachments detaches them from the message or just opens them. It is on (true) by default. There's UI for it in the Penelope preferences panel.
- When pref for opening mailboxes in tabs is turned on, auto-open of mailboxes will detect if the mailbox is already open in a tab and not open a new copy.
- Fixed bug where messages opened in tabs would not show the correct content if the message pane was hidden in the folder view.
- Fixed the "important" tag from randomly appearing. This bug may still occur to messages downloaded with Eudora 8 beta 5 or earlier. All messages downloaded with Eudora 8 beta 6 or later should not see this problem.
- The Layout submenu in the View menu is now shown.
- Default pref to not show the about:rights notification bar.
- Changed the Archive menu item to use Ctrl/Cmd+ as a shortcut instead of the plain "A" that Thunderbird uses.
- Now preventing auto-marked-as-read behavior when a message gets auto-selected when switching tabs.
