Gosh I hate Eudora, sorry!

What I meant by the above was, that my server on X lets me render PHP 
pages without having to upload every little change, and I can see the 
complete page compiled not just the text and so can those to whom I 
give out my local URL. But the problem is, the content is being fed to 
me by any number of clients, via email, and I like to copy and paste 
right into the pages...after selecting the information.
When working on 9, I did this from the many accounts I had configured 
into Emailer, which has never crashed ONCE in it's lifetime, but of 
course, OS 9's server does not allow me to run PHP locally.....
So far I've been getting along, but I just don't trust Mail with my 
saved mail like I did with Emailer which was simple and easy to back up.

I understand that Emailer does not have some of the alternative types 
of connection functions but outside of that it still has the best 
interface and such for managing multiple accounts, which I keep in 
order to keep information straight for each domain, so that updates can 
  be timely and accurate. The connect script is easily altered with a 
custom Applescript to make it fully compliant with the way today's 
servers log you in, and since the cable company fixed my wiring, I've 
had no error messages on send like I used to.

and it was...)
