Re: Convert to mbox --> long term file formats

Actually I think that was a Claris (Steve) decision.


Well, back then Claris was the developer of both Emailer and FileMaker Pro. (My FMP 3 manual says “Claris FileMaker.”)

Claris decided to go with FileMaker products only, dropped Emailer (and its developers), and renamed itself FileMaker Inc. 

Then Apple got hold of Emailer, and it neither developed it further nor sold it to another developer. It died, with much the same fate as HyperCard (where I first developed eMA, as eMK), after Apple stopped the development on it.

So we were both right.   :-)
