Agreed. I guess you're talking about Netscape version 3 and earlier, when
the e-mail was included in the browser? Other browsers don't necessarily
have built-in e-mail, most common alternative being Internet Explorer.
I don't see why using Eudora on a PC is any different to using Outlook
Express, its *very* easy to change your address. If they're going to filter
one type of package, why not filter all PC packages?

I agree with you there, especially in an educational establishment, but in
an office or private home? Why penalise people who choose to use a web
browsers mail package at home?
I guess it depends on how much of L-soft's market is educational /
commercial.
