Are you all like me, keeping >it because you are comfortable with it, or is there something else? Can't speak for anybody else, but as for me... I plan to keep using [EMAIL PROTECTED] until it absolutely dies -- with any luck switching to an OS X version being slowly developed before that happens. I've tried a bunch of alternative email applications, and heven't found any that have the features and ease of use provided by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've looked at Mail on my G4 under 10.2.8 and on my wife's Mini under 10.3, as well as Eudora (paid) which she uses -- neither suits me. I suppose I =could= learn to use Mail and overlook the "features" I don't like, but why spend the time and endure the frustration if I don't have to do so? We both have 17-inch monitors, but without a 36-inch or so I can't stand the way Eudora displays incoming headers and the post being read -- all that screen real estate wasted, requiring the reader to keep scrolling... So far (knock wood) any problems I've had with [EMAIL PROTECTED] have been of my own doing. -- Selah!
