The point I was gently aiming in your (someone on the project)
direction is that the ability to move out of a program after
trying it is extremely important. I have filed a bug report on
this, and I have also been hammering the Netscape end of the
project. The ability to move out of a mail prgram requires the
ability to keep addresses saves while using the program. It's
like having brakes on a car; it may not help the car go faster,
but it is a central and critical feature.
OVerall, I like the package. But I can't recommend it to anyone
(in this form or as Netscape6.xx) until the import feature is
added.
