- Who's having problems? Some of us are very happy with our mail programs. On
- the PC, Eudora is a standard. There is no standard for the Amiga. Everyone
- using an Amiga can use whatever mailer that fits their needs. The grumblings
- you are are reading are from those who are having problems. I read this group
- to keep up with new developments or new versions. Thor is very simple to set
- up. I looked at several other mail programs before I decided on Thor. At that
- time, it certainly seemed like it was the easiest to install.
