The Computer History Museum has release the source code for the Eudora E-mail Client. Back when the other e-mail clients were text-based, Eudora became one of the first popular email utilities to feature a graphical user interface. It was initially created for the Macintosh computers by Steve Dorner in 1988. Some e-mail clients, especially web clients, have taken forever to catch up with Eudora's capabilities. Some pretend clients, like Outlook, may never catch up. Now is the chance. The Eudora source code is available freely for both personal and commercial use, as long as the Eudora trademark is not infringed upon.

    I would like to thank the people who had the authority to release this.

    Because of you, innumerable students of the art will look at the source to gain insight on how to build things.

    While the rest of us have some nostalgia to fall back on.

    I could only wish other people who no longer saw fit to maintain old stuff just let it go free instead of confining it to oblivion.

    In the case of games, they could at least hop on the GoG bandwagon.
