The software is available now for download. The new MoodWatch feature, based on rhetorical theories developed by David Kaufer of Carnegie Mellon University, analyzes incoming and outgoing e-mail messages for potentially offensive language, and assigns one, two or three chili peppers based on the level of heat. The feature is based on the premise that people tend to be more aggressive in e-mail than in other forms of communication.

The new Eudora Sharing Protocol lets you share files with other users by designating a folder on your hard drive, a mailbox for incoming files and e-mail addresses of those with whom you want to share files. The software then automatically invites the other designated users to participate. When a member of the share group saves a file in the designated folder, copies are placed in the mirror folders on the other members' drives. The protocol supports any file that can be sent as an attachment. You can send and receive files when retrieving other e-mail, or the software can automatically transmit the files as they are saved to the folders.
