The test of Entourage is going to go for another day or so, then I'm going to try Apple Mail for a few days. Entourage is powerful, but it has a few weird quirks and bugs... of course, I'm using version 10.0.0, which explains a lot -- later versions probably corrected a lot of the errors. x.0 versions of software tend to be pretty buggy, especially in a case such as this one, where it's the first version of the software.
Anyway, here's the kind of thing I was talking about with Eudora mangling the hell out of HTML-enabled email. I'm a soon-to-be-ex-member of Columbia House DVD. Here's one of their marketing emails in Eudora. And here's the same email in Entourage. (Which is also how it would appear in most other HTML-enabled email clients.)
That's just the top portion of the email, not the whole thing, but you get the idea... notice, for example, that the JavaScript drop-down menu appears properly in Entourage, whereas Eudora doesn't know what the hell to do with it -- all the different film genres that should be in the drop-down menu just appear as text in the email.
