One feature I haven't seen mentioned in this thread specifically that I rely on is Bcc. I will happily compose email on just about any client anywhere as long as I can throw in a Bcc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from it. I use server-side filtering to keep a complete archive of all outgoing items I send in datestamped IMAP folders. (The server-side looks for things From: me and handles them specially). The server-side filtering also drops a copy into my inbox to serve as a filing item (I either delete the outgoing item if done, file it in a project file, leave it as a reminder in the inbox if I'm hoping for a response, or mark it important if I really need a reminder) The last year has seen me send from each of these more than once: Squirrelmail, Outlook, Outlook Web Access, Thunderbird, Evolution, Sylpheed, wanderlust (in emacs), and mutt. I currently use 3 email clients to compose and manage email on a weekly basis. This works primarily because of wide IMAP support these days and the use of the Bcc-myself to provide consistent archiving and filing-reminders across the various clients. Anyway, I'd probably give Chandler-based email composition a fair shake as long as I could set a Bcc that got applied to all outgoing email automatically. -- Jared _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
