>SAN DIEGO - October 16, 1996 - QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM), a
>leader in wireless communications and advanced electronic messaging
>solutions for the Internet, today announced the worldwide availability of
>Eudora Pro 3.0 software for Windows. Eudora Pro 3.0 software offers
>numerous new features, including enhanced message filtering, a new plug-in
>architecture and support for multiple email accounts, making it one of the
>most powerful email management and productivity tools available.  Eudora
>Pro 3.0 for Windows supports the Microsoft® Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and
>Windows NT operating systems.
>
>As part of QUALCOMM's initiative to deliver the most powerful, productive
>and easy-to-use messaging environment, Eudora Pro 3.0 software features a
>new plug-in architecture called Extended Messaging Services Application
>Programming Interface (API).  With it, users will have access to plug-in
>applications that significantly enhance the functionality of Eudora Pro
>software, including human language translation, compression, image format
>conversion, content analysis, and data security services.
>"Eudora Pro 3.0 software is the premier messaging solution for Internet and
>intranet communications," said Craig Brenner, Director of Worldwide
>Marketing, Eudora Division of QUALCOMM.  "The new features and plug-in
>architecture, combined with our ongoing commitment to standards-based
>messaging, give Eudora Pro 3.0 software the highest functionality,
>interoperability and usability possible.  With this latest version, Eudora
>Pro software eclipses simple text-based email and takes electronic
>messaging to the next generation."
>
>Key features of Eudora Pro 3.0 include:
>… More Powerful Filters: Greater power and flexibility to organize and
>manage email automatically.   Actions include automatic reply, forward and
>notify applications.
>… Multiple Email Accounts:  Users can now access different Internet mail
>server accounts from within a single copy of Eudora Pro 3.0.
>… Capability-Enhancing Plug-ins: The new Extended Messaging Services API
>allows other applications that support the API to work directly with Eudora
>Pro software.  Plug-in applications could include human language
>translation, data compression, image format conversion, content analysis,
>and data security services.
>… Improved Text Formatting:  Users can incorporate various fonts, font
>sizes, styles, colors, and layout options to give messages the look of
>word-processed documents (works with Windows 95 or Windows NT only).
>… Drag & Drop Capabilities:  Simplifies making file attachments and
>manipulating mailboxes, messages, and large amounts of text.
>… New Configurable Toolbar:  It is now even easier to access key commands
>and customize the toolbar to suit each individual user. Users can create
>new buttons for many Eudora commands (works with Windows 95 or Windows NT
>only).
>… Floating Dockable Mailbox Window:  Provides users with a window for
>simple mailbox and folder management (works with Windows 95 or Windows NT
>only).
>… Enhanced Address Book:  Users can create multiple address books that
>include email addresses, group lists, physical addresses, telephone and fax
>numbers.
>… New Support for Stationery:  Users can now create templates for outgoing
>messages and use them in automatic responses.
>… Improved Mail Server Control:  Allows control of mail transfers and
>storage on the email server. Users can limit the size of messages they want
>automatically downloaded or limit how long they want deleted messages to
>stay on the server.
>… Multiple Signatures:  Users can create and use many different signatures
>to personalize messages.
>
>Eudora Pro 3.0 software helps users be more productive by managing their
>electronic communications.  This is accomplished through sophisticated
>sorting and labeling, hierarchical mailboxes, and its powerful message
>filtering capability.  Message filtering is the feature email users say is
>most important, according to a recent survey of over 2,000 computer
>magazine readers.  Moreover, the new configurable toolbar makes it even
>easier to access key commands and customize the toolbar to suit individual
>users. Users can also set buttons to correspond to function keys and create
>new buttons for most Eudora commands.
>
>The software also supports Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
>standard stylized text so users can incorporate various fonts, font sizes,
>colors, and layout options to give messages the look of word-processed
>documents.  In addition, just as web browsers can be configured so that
>hot-links for email can automatically open a Eudora Pro message, Eudora Pro
>3.0 software recognizes active Internet hot-links (Uniform Resource
>Locators or URLs) for the World Wide Web, FTP and email.  Now with Eudora
>Pro and your favorite browser, you can double-click an email link in your
>browser to switch to Eudora Pro and double-click a web link in an email
>message to have Eudora Pro software signal your browser to jump to that web
>page.
>
>With over 10 million users worldwide, QUALCOMM's Eudora software products
>are  the industry's most popular Internet email solution.  A study by
>International Data Corporation concluded that QUALCOMM with its Eudora Pro
>software is the dominant leader in the worldwide Internet email software
>market, with 63.5 percent of installed mailboxes and 70.9 percent share of
>all new Internet mailboxes, as of December 1995.  A survey of Internet
>users conducted by Matrix Information Directory Services (MIDS) of Austin,
>Texas, a leading authority on the Internet and its growth, concluded that
>over 60 percent of educational institutions and over 50 percent of
>organizations on the Internet use Eudora software for communication.
>
>Price and Availability
>Eudora Pro 3.0 software for Windows is now available through over two dozen
>worldwide distributors, including Ingram Micro, where Eudora Pro software
>has been on the best seller list for nearly a year.  The software is
>available to consumers through a wide variety of retail outlets, including
>Egghead Software, Comp USA, MicroCenter and Fry's, as well as through major
>computer catalogs and on-line software stores.
>

>and is available now.  Current Eudora Pro 2.x software users can purchase
>the 3.0 upgrade at suggested list price of $39.  Both the full version and
>the upgrade can also be purchased electronically from the Eudora Web site
