Revisons and Changes

The most recent version of this file can be found at <URL:http://www.vampy-alumni.org/eudora/faqs/revision.html>.

The following is a list of revisions made to the comp.mail.eudora.mac FAQs. It currently covers this file and the following files:

• faq.html
• faq3.html
• faq4.html
• faqpost.html (still being edited)

I will probably not be too consistent with my nomenclature of the FAQs. Also note that, because I am continually editing questions, the question number given here might change in the actual FAQ (although the link should remain).
