You are top posting, which isn't nice.
Yes and yes for outlook and viruses, althought I'll stick with my
UNIX workstation and mutt for the foreseeable future, thank you :-)
The Mac vs. Windows case isn't so simple, apparently the scripts for
"bursting" digest are written in some MacOS script language. Don't
bother to ask me what it looks like, haven't had time to dig
further. So it seems to me that the scripts for Eudora under MacOS
will not work for Windows users.
