Many thanks, Jerome!

So, from this testing, we conclude that Eudora 5.2.0.9 on Windows cannot
do either PLAIN or LOGIN Authentication over a TLS-encrypted channel,
right? I seem to recall hearing that Eudora prefers to use CRAM-MD5
authentication, which is an encrypted login method, IIRC? (PLEASE
correct me if wrong!) I believe there are sample CRAM-MD5 authenticator
configurations out there for Exim. For completeness, I recommend adding
CRAM-MD5 test results to the above matrix, if anyone happens to have
them.
