A member of this news group stated "Hopefully that will be fixed in Vista,
the only problem is, Eudora is not developed anymore to pick that up." Can
anyone confirm this statement? If there will be no new development of Eudora
for Vista, can we expect that existing versions (in my case, ver. 5) will
run on Vista?

Meaning your "recognizing internet connection" problem
(or Windows' lack of a particular standard
for recognizing internet connection,
as Brana Bujenovic declared,
which may exacerbate the problem,
and which Brana thought might be fixed in Vista),
presumably an issue with your Eudora v5.

What is your internet connection type, by the way?

Even some Microsoft programs seem to have problems
detecting internet connections
(some potential causes and solutions are also presented here):

That seems to be based on these announcements:

http://www.eudora.com/
http://www.eudora.com/faq/
http://www.eudora.com/download/
http://www.eudora.com/press/2006/eudora-mozilla_final_10.11.06.html

However, Vista specs have been available quite a while,
certainly prior to this recent version.

Even if Eudora v5 experiences a problem,
is there anything which you have in Eudora v5
which can not be obtained by using Eudora v7 (final,
reported as being in actual use with Vista),
even in "Sponsored" mode, in which the "Ad Window"
and "Ad Toolbar" can both be suppressed?

Meanwhile, has anyone been displaying
Eudora's built-in Help on Vista?

Or using Eudora's MAPI on Vista?

Both of the above were previously reported as issues with Vista:

Why be such a masochist and run Vista?? Windows 2K and XP will do me
for many years to come. As far as I'm Vista is nothing but bloatware
and an attempt by MS to control your PC and what you do with it..
