* Inbuilt, crude and thus (relatively) secure HTML viewer. Passing all incoming mail to a full browser is asking for trouble. (Thunderbird does have some facilities in this regard, but it still uses Gecko.) Security by design rather than by patch. | * Inbuilt, crude and thus (relatively) secure HTML viewer.

::: I agree 100% with the above. Eudora's limited support of HTML was a key feature. There is no need for an email to be able to do everything a web page can do, all that does is invite email viruses that can infect your machine just by reading them. It's better to only support a safe subset of HTML and provide a menu option to "display in the browser" the way that Eudora does. | |||
