At the following two sites, you may download the FREEWARE Pegasus Mail program version 2.3.3 16 bit for windows 3.x or a version for WIN95.

I like Pmail. Had I not been an experienced Eudora user before I tried it (and pretty stuck on the Eudora interface) I would have probably stuck with it. Kudos to the Pegasus team for releasing a freeware program with such excellent filtering capabilites. It is much more of a full-fledged program than Eudora Lite, IMHO.

...

The unique thing about it, besides its simplicity and that it's a great mail program better than Eudora, it has a built in encryption program that is as effective as PGP and lots simpler. All you do is agree on a password with your correspondent. That simple.

The "encryption" built into PMail is - and the author admits this - crap. He wrote the encryptor interface, which is essentially Message XOR Password, as a demonstration. Then the JN PGP interface was written.

...

The encryption program and the mail program were developed in New Zealand, and were legally imported, so the encryption program is better than PGP, which is regulated by Federal Cypher Laws.

This is misleading, IMHO.

Mild understatement.

PC users who use PGP should try Pegasus and PGP JN.

Been there, done that. It's a nice combo, but could be a little better.

Been there, done that. It's also a nice program, but nowhere near a full featured mail client. That's by design, as I understand. dave
