I see discussion of 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1, all as if they were somehow
"current." What's the scoop? Isn't 2.1 the latest and greatest?

1.5 is the latest iteration of the freeware version, and it's still in beta-testing. Ditto 2.1, the "latest and greatest" iteration of the commercial Eudora. 2.0.3 is the latest non-beta-test version of Eudora available.

That's incorrect. Eudora 2.1 has been released and is the current released
version of the commercial product.

There are two paths to travel in Eudora-land. The 1.* versions are
freeware, the 2.* versions are costware. The big difference between
the two is filtering, a darn useful feature. 2.1 is the latest and
greatest costware version.

And the 1.* versions are available in French, on:
