This particular account is for a client and I actually don't want the emails themselves or the many many attachments piping down onto my Mac. For this particular account the only way I want to access it is via the web interface. What's more I have to use Windows for this client and avoid having Eudora open while I do that work. I can access the Gmail account I need to work with from a web browser on the Mac or under Windows. My point remains that both stationery and Redirect belong in Gmail.

You can still access the gmail account else where when you lack your computer. Why not just use Eudora to handle your gmail.

Too many times we have kitchen sink syndrome, and want to put every feature that anyone might or could want into a product...it isn't pragmatic. It is this reason alone that we have bloated software packages or services that are cited as the catalysts for the "KISS" paradigm that is so popular nowadays.
