Have checked my 95b(2.1) PC. Yes it is 4.31.
You may need to update DUN from MS site, DUN14-95.EXE
and update browser toIE5.5. But cant be sure.

Thunderbird 1 and Firefox 1.5 will run on W95B, though paradoxically the
installer won't. To get round this just install on 2000/XP and copy the
program folder over.

Pegasus Mail will also work, up to v4.02 I think. The latest won't because
it uses unicode.

My blind friends have been running Eudora for years, and I see the website
(http://www.eudora.com/) still has lots of old versions available
(http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/2350hq.html/, then
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/).

It seems to have three modes, Paid, Sponsored, and Light;
http://www.eudora.com/download/ says Paid is no longer available for
purchase, Sponsored is only available on the latest version (XP/2000), and "
Older versions revert to Light mode ", which is " Even fewer features
a.. No person-to-person technical support" - which is probably exactly what
you want..


Of course, there are DOS prog.s, such as the suite Demon built around KA9Q,
and windows 3.1 ones, but I presume you want a _bit_ more than that (-:!

Wasn't there a version of Outhouse Distress with W95? (Or at least available
for?)

http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=eudora has it from 7.0.1 back to
1.4.4 (0.3 MB).
