    Email Application

    I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about Eudora? Someone has told me that they are using Eudora because Outlook Express is prone to viruses. He said something about Outlook express opening attachments automatically, enabling viruses to run on the machine? Can anyone shed some light on the topic? Is Eudora a good application?

    Lookout Express prone to viruses?

    I use the Netscape 4.7 email client and haven't had any problems.

    Eudora isn't vulnerable to Outlook viruses, no.

    Better still, don't use Windows

    Parksie has a good idea - I used to telnet to a VMS system to read email, so it was never local and I never had to worry.
