Mark, while I agree with you that many of the responses you've received recently have been less than useful, at the same time, posts like the above aren't very constructive, either. In my experiences, the people in the Mac Business Unit are "Mac people" who want to make their products as good as they can be. Although there are a few features from the OS 9 version of Entourage that no longer exist (and even some features from Emailer that I still miss), there are also scores of features -- arguably more important to some users than being able to play custom sounds -- that have been added to Entourage since Office 2001. Perhaps adding support for the ability to easily select any sound on your hard drive would have taken development resources away from implementing threaded message viewing. Sometimes that's the reality of developing software. I doubt that any member of the Mac Business Unit is purposely trying to punish you for being a Mac user ;-) As a side note, some of the Entourage developers are active participants on this list. A message like "I really miss this feature from the OS 9 version; is there any chance we can get it back someday?" will probably get a better response ;-) -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
