Eudora Light is an advert for Eudora Pro. It will receive formatted
email, but it won't either produce or forward it. I don't consider
html to be worthwhile for scientific communication (formulae, etc.)
because not everyone has access to it, nor expertise to use it.

Adobe Acrobat Exchange (.pdf = portable document format) is widely
used, cheaper than Eudora Pro, and, like html (which has Netscape)
has a free reader (Adobe Acrobat). Using Exchange one can produce
documents with any application and include, in addition to
mathematical formulae with arcane orthograpies, graphical material
- even color photographs - more easily than it can be done in html.
I have promoted .pdf in this group before; I still urge you all to
give it a try.
