Thank you for your detailed response, is it Doug or Wyatt?. I will look at Calypso later today, or tomorrow. Eudora, I agree is spoiled by the ads. I used to use the Lite version quite some years ago now - it was OK then, I guess. As for Pegasus, it looks as though it originates in this country, and is very full of features, but I had a little difficulty doing what I wanted. I'm wanting something a bit more intuitive, and reading a lot of 'Help files' tend to confuse me because my memory is so poor (At least I seem to remember that it is!!!) And thanks to everyone else who responded too. This list is certainly the 'Cat's pyjamas'. Best wishes Rick H (In the Shaky Isles) Wyatt M. Portendt wrote: > Calypso is free.
