Using Eudora getting unreliable?

I have been using Eudora in a virtual Snow Leopard system for several
years now. It seems to work mostly as it always did, with just the odd
glitch.

However, over the last 12 months, I have noticed that there are a
reasonable number of messages that are problematical. These are ones
where I send an attachment and the other end cannot open it. However, if
I send it as an embedded image, it is fine.

Then there are incoming messages where I cannot open some of the
embedded images, or links do not work.

Now these are not really Eudora problems I don't think, but problems
with the other end. But it is getting common enough that it is becoming
a real nuisance.

Then there is the fact that links open an old browser which may not be
able to display the page, or at least not properly. And will be
susceptible to faults that newer browsers have fixed.

Sad, but I think I am going to have to look seriously at alternatives.

David I haven't experienced the glitches you have, and I'm sorry that
they're getting worse. As for this problem, though:

If you redefine your default browser, you can fix this one.

You mean Firefox or Chrome? Yes, I could do that. I just wish Mac
virtual machines could transfer to an application on the host Mac like
Windows virtual machines can.
