>>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
