Fun Way to Send Attachments in Mail

If you're working in a file that you want to attach to a message in Apple Mail, you can transfer the file to Mail easily: From the title bar of the file's window, drag the little proxy icon to Mail's icon on the Dock. Your Mac will make Mail the active application and open a new outgoing message, with the file attached.

(If your icon won't drag, the file probably isn't saved.)

Eudora 6.1 Adds Google Searching

Eudora 6.1 Adds Google Searching -- Qualcomm has released Eudora 6.1, the latest version of their venerable email client. New in Eudora 6.1 is a toolbar-based Search Bar that enables you to search either within Eudora or in Google via your Web browser; you can also Control- or right-click a word and choose it from the contextual menu that appears to search for it in Google. Another new feature (though a more-limited version appeared in Eudora 6.0; see "Eudora 6.0 Slams Spam, Concentrates Content" in TidBITS-696 for more on that release) is Transfer to Selection, which enables you to Control- or right-click a word in Eudora and choose a similarly named mailbox into which the message will be transferred. IMAP synchronization has been improved with the capability to synchronize specific IMAP mailboxes on mail checks and easier resynchronization of entire mail folders. Eudora 6.1 provides more control over content concentration, which it uses to hide quoted and other less relevant text appearing in the preview pane. Lastly, and perhaps the most welcome (if depressing) feature is the addition of Junk mail statistics to the Statistics window. It's harsh being shown that 61 percent of my mail is spam overall, and that the percentage is more like 75 to 78 percent for the day or week.
