got it and using it now... woo-hoo! I'm hoping I don't have to go back to
Eudora again.  I am so easy to please.

did you know that the cursor disappears at normal typing speeds?  It's really
annoying if you are trying to use the arrow keys to navigate text.

no, I'm not a member of the tinfoil hat club.  It just never occurred to me to
save the password.  Honest!

not yet.  I wasn't able to get enough details to make a worthwhile bug report. 
I'm hoping to have a bug report ready for you by the end of this week.

nope.  It doesn't.  CPU goes to 100 percent for about 25 seconds and it seems to
be tied in with threading.

I'll have to try disabling the colorization option.  I also get the same delay
(approximately 30 seconds, 100 percent CPU) when switching to text only viewer.

wait a minute.  that may be part of the clue.  I've been running all IMAP
connections through an SHH tunnel on Eudora.  And I may have set up mahogany the
same way.  I don't remember because it's been so long.  I'll experiment with
this more tomorrow.
