Re: Eudora to Thunderbird

For a few more tidbits regarding the change in code base between
Eudora and Penelope, check out Matt Dudziak's (longtime QUALCOMM/
Eudora personage now working on Penelope) comment's on the QUALCOMM
Penelope forum at:

<http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showthread.php?t=12141>

Two quotes from Matt:

"In a nutshell what's happening is we are building upon the Mozilla
mail/news code to make an open source Eudora. See http://
wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope for details. The existing Eudora code base
is not being used for the open source version, and is currently
collecting dust."

"Also, the Eudora source does not compile for Linux (Thunderbird
does), and the source for Win Eudora and Mac Eudora are different.
Open sourcing the current code would take an enormous amount of effort."
