eudora solutions/Mac interface resize problems

[Bill Troop <billtroop@xxxxxxxxx>]

Harry, there has long been some kind of UTF converter, probably of
dubious value, for Eudora which, I agree, is the only email program worth
using, and which I still use. However, have you looked at this
open-source fork of Eudora?

https://sourceforge.net/p/hermesmail/discussion/general/thread/4d53f60f5e/?limit=25#7cfb

Presumably Hermes, so called, solves the UTF problem. And I believe that
somewhere there is a recent 'kit' of patches or add-ons to address the
most glaring Eudora inconveniences. 

Now if only I could run Eudora on an M1 Mac, I would have everything I
needed. 

Except: 

One observation, for those of us getting a trifle older: Windows, to my
astonishment, has much better control over the size of the interface
elements than OS X. Windows can resize the interface elements. OS X
can't. You have to zoom. Apple makes such zooming as easy as it can but
it is a constant annoyance. This is a serious issue on a small high
resolution screen.

Carl,

I agree but I like Macs for music and maybe email.  Theres nothing nearly as good as Eudora, but it cant handle UTF, among other limitations and TBird has no real relation to Eudora. Might want to use its calendar too.

I have Python on my Mac Mini, so Ill ask Dr. Google about making it get triggered by keystrokes.

Happy New Year,

Well, Python runs on a Mac, and Python is, um, Python-like.

I don't know from Macs, but if you write your scripts in Python, I've
got to believe there's a way to map them to keys in MacOS.

I confess I've never understood the allure of the Mac. (I did try one,
some 20+ years ago, and was underwhelmed.) Oh, sure, if your work is
graphics-intensive ... I suppose.... But for word-processing, text
manipulation, and the like? Seems like six of one to me.
