Found an old CDR from probably 98 or so a while back and it had my Eudora folder backed up on it. On a whim I clicked the exe and much to my surprise it started right up with all my mail intact. I'm so used to software just stopping working after a time that I was completely impressed.

Not to mention, that was certainly a trip down memory lane reading those emails (and cringing at many). Worth tracking down if you have one laying about.

That is awesome! I wish everything that spat out a proprietary backup file format came with a self executable viewer.

I believe that Eudora used the standard email format of the day (RFC822), so it was really easy to extract emails to use/store as you wish.
