Mozilla Releases Beta of Open-Source Eudora

The Mozilla Foundation last week released the first beta version, 8.0.0b1, of the revised Eudora e-mail application since Qualcomm stopped developing it commercially and turned it over to the open-source community in 2006. Mozilla already has an open-source e-mail program, Thunderbird, and the new Eudora will be a branded offshoot, with some new features, according to the release site. In addition, a related extension called Penelope will provide some extra features to both Eudora and Thunderbird
