Penelope seems on the surface like an odd fit. Eudora and Thunderbird are so entirely different. What can possibly emerge from bringing them together?

The way I see it, each program has unique strengths and weaknesses, but there are also weaknesses they both share, which will not be fixed by the convergence, presumably.

Eudora unique strengths:

+ Excellent rules creation interface
+ Can set individual sounds for notification along with sorting rules
+ Quote only selected text in replies

Thunderbird unique strengths:

+ Pop-up notifications
+ Keyboard navigation
+ Outstanding IMAP support
+ Language and character support

Weaknesses of both:

- Almost no template variables
- Cannot assign templates to folders (as folder properties)
- Large memory use

So how will the Penelope project deal with these various issues?
