Greetings, Aurora Enthusiasts!

A stellar year has passed since the triumphant debut of HERMES Aurora, the direct heir to Eudora for Windows. While officially in alpha 24, rest assured, the only alpha elements involve the refined tweaks, notably in Unicode, SSL, and the HTML viewer.

Sure, you could run Aurora on Mac via Wine, but that's not the experience you're accustomed to. Brace yourselves for some unequivocally exciting news: our Mac maestro recently approved the next iteration of "Eudora for Mac," rechristened HERMES Eos. The code now seamlessly compiles across all Mac OS X versions up to and including Mojave.

Speaking of resource forks, after three years of intensive research and development, coupled with a substantial investment, we cracked the code last week. The solution is now crystal clear. We're seeking your assistance—kindly provide us with a DMG of the Eudora app (crafted with OS X Disk Utility, not the Aladdin InstallMaker-made installation package) and send it directly to my email.

In principle, we're geared up to deliver Eudora for Mac to each of you within 60 days. However, there's a small hitch: we need $3,000 to make it happen. Our capital took a hit during Aurora's development and Eos research. Whether you can contribute a dollar, ten, or a hundred, visit https://igg.me/at/hermes80. Your support ensures the software's imminent release.

Warm regards,

Nicholas Edward Werner-Matavka
Team HERMES

Well, we've got $2,000, still. That's to pay the programmer and others who worked on it.

The major issue is to get the naked app on DMG. The money isn't anywhere CLOSE to as necessary as the other thing. In fact, it may be completely unnecessary, as the Windows app is generating a bit of a surplus.

But the naked app is key.
