* With a single keypress, import Web pages, mail messages, or any file on your Mac. Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the other tools in your Mac ecosystem. Organize them into folders and annotate them with tags and notes, or leave everything in one folder and pin-point the information you need using the live search. Browse different types of files using a familiar three-pane interface. Use it to collect information from a variety of sources. It lets you archive and search mail, Web pages, PDF files, word processing documents, images, and more. EagleFiler makes organizing and managing your information easy. It normally would be able to color-code the quotes and > marks when displaying the messages in plain-text mode, however these messages (going against the standards) don’t include plain text parts, so that doesn’t work.Collect notes, e-mails, and Web pages on your Mac, and search them instantly. I’ll fix that in the next version.Īs mentioned above, EagleFiler doesn’t currently draw quote bars for HTML messages. It looks fine except that EagleFiler doesn’t decode the subject. EagleFiler doesn’t currently have a facility to let you override an encoding that was specified incorrectly in the message, so there’s nothing to be done about this.ĭotClear-1: This one doesn’t specify an encoding, it’s actually in Latin-1, and EagleFiler seems to guess that properly.ĭotClear-3: This one says it’s UTF-8, and it is. As a result, the accents don’t display properly. I’m seeing somewhat different results than what you described:ĭotClear: This one claims to be in the Mac character set, but it’s actually using Latin-1. Please e-mail me exports (from EagleFiler) of messages that display properly in Mail but not in EagleFiler, and I’ll see what I can do to make EagleFiler more consistent with Mail. When the encoding is unspecified or if it’s specified but seems to disagree with the data, different mail programs will make different guesses. Some text is stored using an encoding (probably MacRoman) but without specifying the encoding. When it stores the messages in a mailbox, Eudora changes the way the text is encoded. But even when the message is OK in Mail, when it gets into EagleFiler, the accented letters are wrong. The transfer from Eudora to Mail is not perfect and many messages end up with errors in accented words. The result is somewhat better but there are issues with the encodings of messages containing accented characters. Then I dropped the mailbox from Mail to EagleFiler. So I tried to convert the Eudora mailboxes to Mail first, using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner. I plan to use Time Machine (and also Spotlight and QuickView) and I know it’s much better for these applications to have individual files for messages instead of large mbox files. I chose Mail over Thunderbird for one main reason. I dropped the mailbox from the Finder to EagleFiler’s Drop Pad, which worked but the results are just as poor: mangled accents and lost quotes. However, getting from Thunderbird to EagleFiler is more difficult. The results with the accents are much better in Thunderbird. I then tried transferring a mailbox from Eudora to Thunderbird (also with Eudora Mailbox Cleaner). This bar is visible in Mail but disappears in EagleFiler, so many messages are impossible to understand. Also, in Eudora the quoted parts have a vertical bar on the left. When I double click on them to open them in Mail, I do see the message but all the HTML tags are visible too so it’s completely unreadable. If I transfer them directly (from the finder to the EagleFiler Drop Pad), some messages appear empty. However, I’m having problems transferring Eudora mailboxes to EagleFiler. I’ve been using Eudora for more than 10 years and keep just about everything (except spam, but that’s taken care of with SpamSieve). Especially since I gather from what I read that Mail isn’t quite the place to keep thousands of messages. Since I’m already using EagleFiler for pdfs and web pages, I thought it would be logical to archive old mails too. I’m contemplating a radical move: Eudora to Mail when I go from Tiger to Leopard.
