I love Mozilla's web-browsing component, and use it pretty much
exclusively across three operating systems. I used its mail/news component
to make one post to n.p.m.general, and discovered the following.
1) When a thread nests far enough, the outliner falls in a heap. (And the
lines in the outliner look hand-drawn and ugly.)
2) Clicking on the twistie beside a thread won't close it. (Yes, I know
about the keyboard shortcut, but that's no excuse for the GUI not
performing as reasonably expected, and certainly no reason for me to
take my hand off the mouse and move it back to the keyboard just for
one click.)
3) The message compose window is prone to throwing the cursor back to the
top of the document while you're in the middle of typing.
4) Frequently, the message-view window will refuse to lay out a message
as anything but a stream of text with no new-lines.
Mail/News is currently at the level of reliability and useability that the
browser reached around M16, and I really do challenge anyone to deny it.
