As someone suggested earlier, this may be the "ad update" that
takes place on a regular schedule in the "sponsored mode" of Eduora.
In this mode, all features are available without registration and
payment, but Eudora will download new ads periodically to be
displayed in the ad box in the lower left hand portion of the
GUI display.  If this process is blocked, Eudora will automatically
revert to the less powerful freeware version.
