I'm not going to use Mahogany at all until it becomes a newsreader :o(. However, if I don't start getting *some* readers to use a reasonable layout today, none will be usable for me even when they get all the other features, and new reader projects will start up without having the neccessary configurability. I urge you to leave the capability in. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-developers
