It's the bedrock of our industry.

That's why it's more fun when we've got lots of competitors, the marketplace
becomes a gang of thieves who continually steal each other's best ideas and
attempt to come up with enough of their own to differentiate their products.

When there's only one or two major competitors, it's less fun because things
are more static.  Until you get a new kid on the block who's trying to play
catch up and knock someone else out of their entrenched position.

I was especially impressed by their choice of brown as the color for
Junkmail.

An amazing coincidence that... ;-)

I hate drawers.

I especially hate statically sized drawers.  I've deeply nested mail
hierarchies.  In Apple's Mail.app, I can only see 5 characters in most of my
folder names.
