Subject: Eudora Pro 4.0 stepped backwards
Hello Listers,
This is just a note for your information.  I have been participating in the
recent BETA testing of Eudora Pro 4.0 and have found it  has made several
steps backwards along with some advances.
The primary items are the Filter Report and Tabbed windows that can not be
accessed via the keyboard.  Once the filter report is visible and you close
it,  there is no way to bring it back.  Also they have began using graphics
to indicate the status of a message and the server status of messages that
appear as the same graphic number to Jaws. 
Those things are minor and can be dealt with.  What I see as a major step
back is the fact that they removed the feature allowing a user to just
press enter on a URL in the message.  Now you must route the Mouse cursor
(Jaws) to your PC cursor in the text and click to get to the URLs.  This
worked in a few of the early betas b3 - b5.  After that the next one I got
was b7 which soon became Release Candidates 1 -3 where it did not work.  I
wrote to Eudora's bug report address several times getting nothing but the
standard automated response.
Shawn
