Eudora Spyware

I've been getting steadily disillustioned with Eudora, my email program of 6+ years. It's not going anywhere really: it still has the same crappy interface, the same filter engine that only allows two conditions, the same Mac developer who takes pot shots at Apple whenever he can. With the recently released 6.1 beta for Windows, however, there's yet more fuel to the fire. According to the Win32 release notes:

Eudora now makes it easier than ever to search with the introduction of a new "Search Bar" in the toolbars and new context menu items that search for the current selection. Both allow you to search inside Eudora or start an Internet search.

Contextual searching has shown up in other applications before, and it is helpful - right-clicking a selection in Mozilla and 'oogling for it is pretty handy. And right-clicking a selection in a mail message and auto-searching through my entire Eudora mail directory, folder, or box is pretty handy too.

But, for all the goodness of the internal searching, the "search web" portion is the devil: it sends your IP address as part of the sponsored search in Google:

http://eudora.google.com/hws/search?client=eudora
&ip=xx.yyy.xxx.yyy&adtest=off&q=search%20term%20here

UPDATE: In hindsight, and with a belly full of chicken, putting the IP in the query string is rather ridiculous. Has the fine art of web server log analysis been forgotten? What happens if I bookmark or blog a URL with my IP, and someone else accesses it? What does that mean? And what about internal IPs versus public - which is reported?
