CLARIS EMAILER

EASY ENOUGH FOR FIRST TIME USERS, POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR ADVANCED USERS,
CLARIS EMAILER SENDS AND RECEIVES MESSAGES VIA THE INTERNET, AMERICA
ONLINE, COMPUSERVE, EWORLD AND RADIOMAIL

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - July 18, 1995 - Claris Corporation today announced
the release of Claris Emailer, the fast, flexible, easy way to manage
email messages. Whether users subscribe to an Internet service or to
America Online, CompuServe, eWorld, or RadioMail, Claris Emailer enables
users to send, receive, reply, forward, and store email messages and files
quickly and easily.

Claris Emailer is ideal for small business, home and educational users who
need to keep in contact with friends, family, customers and colleagues,
because it automates the sending and receiving of email and file
enclosures. Enclosed files are automatically compressed for transmission.
Claris Emailer creates and maintains a handy address book of email
addresses for all recipients. It can store more than one email address for
individuals, as well as group addresses, enabling users to send the same
message to multiple recipients with a single command.

"Claris Emailer is designed to be simple, powerful and effective", said Guy
Kawasaki, president of Fog City Software, Inc., the developer of Claris
Emailer, which Claris has licensed for worldwide distribution. "It gives
individual Mac users the electronic messaging power they need to keep in
touch with clients, colleagues and friends."

"Claris is known for bringing the best productivity solutions to users, and
Claris Emailer is no exception," said Guerrino De Luca, president of
Claris Corporation. "Emailer is in keeping with Claris' continuing
commitment to provide simply powerful software to the increasing number of
new computer users."

The announcement of Claris Emailer has drawn praise from leaders in the
online communications industry. "Claris Emailer brings the pioneers of the
information revolution even closer together -- and that's good news for
eWorld citizens and customers of other online services as well," said
Peter Friedman, eWorld vice president and general manager of Apple Online
Services.

"Claris Emailer makes email a breeze. No matter where I am, Emailer's
address book and support for multiple locations lets me easily send and
receive messages from all my Internet accounts as well as many of the
popular commercial services," said Adam C. Engst, editor of the popular
TidBits online newsletter and author of the "Internet Starter Kit for
Macintosh."

EASY TO INSTALL AND USE

Because electronic mail can be intimidating for the novice, Claris Emailer
was designed to be easy to install and use. Using a simple, step-by-step
question-and-answer format, Claris Emailer helps users enter their email
account information and connection preferences. Users can also set up an
automatic schedule to send and receive mail.

With Claris Emailer's text editor, users can easily create outgoing
messages, and can enclose files from their hard disk or network. Sending
messages between different systems is easy. The click of a button tells
Claris Emailer to prepare a message for delivery to the most popular
online services and Internet addresses, and the program does the rest.

While exceptionally easy to use, Claris Emailer includes a comprehensive
User's Guide as well as support documents to help configure specific
services. Claris also offers telephone support and support via on-line
services including America Online, CompuServe, eWorld and the World Wide
Web.
