Good Afternoon,

I am pleased to announce the release of Eudora 6.1 for Mac OS X. Eudora 6.x
is the first version of Eudora that Qualcomm supports under Mac OS X 10.3
(Panther). Please note that we are not releasing Eudora 6.1 for Mac OS 9 as
this operating system is slated to be retired June 30, 2004. Eudora 5.2.3
will continue to be the supported e-mail client for that operating system
until it is retired.
