Using the default viewer, I can print preview in Newmail, sentmail and this list's folder. There again, you are using 0.64.2 Sparc whereas I'm using 0.65 Claire which we are currently testing for release. > Text only viewer: > Too slow!!

Well, it would get a tick for being GPL and Gtk, I couldn't see source for the Windows version but did see 18MB for the Unix one. Bigger than the entire current working source for Mahogany (16MB)! Obviously it would slim down after lots gets ripped out. I volunteer you to try it out as an external editor as it presently stands :-) > Minor gripe: > The expunge on exit dialogue is backwards.

Yes, there are the odd spot where that dialogue appears that it doesn't always make the most sense. > Enhancement: > the folder list still does not really sort alphabetically. > I suggest you should be able to right click on AllFolders > and ask for an alphabetical sort.

"Filters and Folders" work is on the list. Never fear :-) > Enhancement: > Currently the composer can't edit multipart/alternative > messages, but that ability would be nice. What! You can't combine NUDE-XENA.JPG 1/10 -> 10/10 :-) LOL That would come with work needing doing on the HTML Viewer. That comes (some time) after Text viewer. It would also involve filters and folders so don't expect this specific one tooo soon ;-) Seriously, I know what you mean. Multipart MIME is tere along with all the rest of the enhancements. > Enhancement: > Allow direct editing of msg headers.
