1) My gnus generates part of sieve script that does sorting for all email clients :-) 2) When I have tested a few email clients most of them offered "very nice features absent in most other email clients". *For me* avoiding being tied to *one* email client is worth the effort required. I do not suggest that using local IMAP is the best path for everyone but I think it should be at least considered by many people. -- [pl>en Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : [email protected] : [email protected] After Goliath's defeat, giants ceased to command respect. -- Freeman Dyson _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
