I wouldn't bet on a successful reanimation of the Eudora corpse for MacOS. My 
understanding from its developers at the time Qualcomm killed it in favor of 
re-skinning TBird (which also fizzled) is that the code was unmaintainable and 
required essentially a full rewrite to keep working on MacOS X given the 
ongoing rot in the Carbon APIs.
