Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer

<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/freebsd-questions/#_how_to_submit_a_question> mentions: 

Eudora®

<https://computerhistory.org/blog/the-eudora-email-client-source-code/>

Since source code was acquired by the Computer History Museum in 2018, let's assume that use of museum pieces is so rare that it need not be mentioned in FreeBSD documentation such as this.

(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #0)
While there (or maybe in a separate bug):
- Is "Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which do not get on very well with MIME." still true?
- Does exmh still send badly formatted messages?

I have no experience with exmh, however I (too) wondered about those two things. 

Feel free to edit the summary line above; broaden the scope, if you like.

I want to find more about them before I do, so better not to let that hold this one, I think.

    Remove Eudora references

    Eudora source code was acquired by the Computer History Museum in
    2018. We're gonna assume that nobody it's gonna use this software
    as a daily driver.
