Two New Utilities For Eudora Pro Users Released
St. John Morrison has released two products for Eudora Pro users who want to make some minor changes to Eudora Pro. According to St. John Morrison:

St. John Morrison is pleased to announce the release of "Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer," an application to allow greater choice in mailbox displays for Qualcomm's popular e-mail client, Eudora Pro (version 4.0 or later); and "Eudora Sound Mover," an application which can install new alert sounds into Eudora Pro and Light.

What is Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer?

Between version 3.1.3 and version 4.0 of Eudora Pro, the display of the Status column was changed. Instead of letters, such as "S" for "Sent" and "F" for "Forwarded," users saw icons. Some people, the author included, thought that the old way was better.

Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer can generate icons in the user's preferred typeface, size, and style, and therefore will appear similar to the old-style display. Users may select the old-style or new-style icon for each individual Status category, and can even change the letter used for the items.

Instructions for a simpler (though less flexible) approach to this enhancement, using Eudora's settings, are also included.

What is Eudora Sound Mover?

Most versions of Eudora Pro (certainly 3.1.3 and later) allow the use of sounds to alert you to events, namely new mail and problems with sending or receiving mail. However, its selection is limited.

Eudora Sound Mover can manage the sounds in Eudora Pro. It can add sounds by either selecting them from a dialog or dragging them into its window; play the sounds; and delete unwanted ones.

System Requirements for both applications:

Any Apple Macintosh or other computer running MacOS System 7.0 or later. Qualcomm's Eudora Pro or Eudora Light version 3.1 or later is also required.

The company has packaged both products together and each is priced at only US$1 each. Site licenses are also available. You can find download links at company's web site.
