Tom,
I beg to differ, just slightly. Except for sorting by To: and CC:, I don't
see anything you mention that Netscape Mail can't do. Maybe if I'd been
able to sort on those two fields before now, I might see some advantage to
it. Other than that, I have folders and filters for everything, and I can
sort and search every other field in a message. I wouldn't mention it
except that you seem to indicate NS has limited functionality. Using it, I
can filter all my lists, and zip through 500 messages or more in a very
short while.
I'm in full agreement on Notes client. The same batch of mail in Notes
takes nearly 10 times as long (that's no exageration). The folks who
designed it obviously never received more than 25 messages in a day or
created more than three mail folders.

Consider switching to Outlook express. It lets you create folders and sort
by
from, to, cc, subject or body. Plus, it allows you to find things within
folders by from, to, cc, subject or body, so if you want to search for
"CFMAIL",
for instance, it will find all messages that contain CFMAIL in the body or
subject. Quite handy, not to mention the organization of having separate
folders for each mailing list. I tried Netscape briefly, and couldn't see
any
advantage. Lotus notes has horrible email formatting.
