The (just released) version 6.1.1 of Eudora now works with OpenSSL. We
complained long and loud about it not working with OpenSSL as we had
just purchased a boat load of licenses and then couldn't use them. They
finally got an updated library from their supplier and rebuilt with it.
We downloaded it yesterday and tested it just now with OpenSSL 0.9.7 and
it works.
Cheers,
Bob
