Eudora filters my junk mail. (Use the Filters menu item.) It does 
many other things that OE can't do, like printing to personal laser 
writers. (I spent hours trying to fix my brother-in-law's version of 
OE to print and never succeeded.) Eudora has one feature that totally 
blows OE out of the water: automatic, as-you-type spell checking.

I've spent so much time fixing the systems of friends, family, and 
neighbors that used OE that I would rather put up with my daily crash 
than switch. As to the size of the application, you forgot to examine 
the 17 extensions installed by OE. :O
