One data point: I use squirrelMail all day, every day, on a webhost that still runs 4.4.1 However wrong that may be, it is the Reality Tomas has to deal with. If it won't work in the zillion PHP 4 environments he is stuck supporting, then he can't use it. Get the world to update to 5.2, and all is good... That seems unlikely to happen in the immediate future, afaics, no matter how much we might wish it did. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
