Thanks to all the users and testers of Eudora, whose sug- gestions have made it a much better program than it otherwise would have been. About the Name Why the name Eudora? When looking for a name for this new Post Office Protocol mail program, we thought immediately of the title of the short story “Why I Live at the P.O.,” and named the program after the author of the story, Eudora Welty. “Why I Live at the P.O.” can be found in a collection entitled A Curtain of Green and Other Stories (Harcourt Brace & Co.). Ms. Welty’s stories are funny, sad, and fascinating; she’s surely one of the great American writers. February 2000 PM80-48070-3 revA Contents Click the topic or page number to display the topic.
