I couldn't agree more -

I was not suggesting running the exe off a floppy -
You would run Eudora off the station with your config files and saved mail
etc on the floppy-
Your command line would look something like -
C:\EUDORA\EUDORA.EXE A:\
With this disk you can go to any machine that has Eudora and an internet
connection.
We have a station in a lab that is shared by several faculty members and I
have set up accounts like this for some of them.

Eudora Lite - a perfectly usable package with only the 'bells and whistles'
of the commercial product left out is freeware.  Or at least it was until
recently.

Actually the suggestions in my first response were offered largely
tongue-in-cheek.
IMHO - If you are worried about privacy and security you just ---don't---
do personal e-mail on a public station.
