In Digest V2005 #65, the person identified as Bill McIntyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hunted and pecked out the following:
>I suppose its heresy to say it hear, but what if someone has or will >soon develop another solution- another email program- that is actually >acceptable so that no project would be necessary. Based on my experience to date, I'd say that is rather unlikely. I've been searching for something useful -- that is, free from unnecessary bells, whistles, pictures, etc., etc., ad infinitum, since ZTerm days. So far [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the only thing I've found. With the advent of the Internet and WWW things seem to have gone from bad to worse... everything I've seen has been loaded down with widgets and what-have-you, not to mention hard-to-comprehend setup and "features". Once upon a time I considered Eudora Pro, but that proved to be unusable -- and then I found [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apples Mail is worthless, IMHO. I've finally adopted Thunderbird to send attachments that [EMAIL PROTECTED] insists on "encoding" (its only weakness so far), but even that took some experimentation. I firmly believe that a plain jane open source email app will be welcomed by many who haven't discovered [EMAIL PROTECTED] >In that regard, the current MacWorld, in its article about the new >features of Tiger, said that Mail 2.0 was significantly improved. Could >it be that it is now an acceptable substitute for Emailer for most of >us? I don't plan to upgrade from 10.2.8 since it does all I want, but I don't see how Mail could be "significantly" improved without junking the whole thing and starting with a clean sheet of paper -- or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (G) -- Selah!
