Nice to hear that!

Agreed. <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61497>

You found that out by yourself? We thought, this feature were not
explorable.

I see that, too. Especially the body rule never seems to match. (I am
using UW-IMAP.)

Already fixed in the Mozilla trunk (unless it regressed), so it will be
in the next version.

Seth, do you know about a bug about that?

worksforme. (But it is very slow and memory-consuming in Beonex 0.6. It
is being worked on currently.)

It's a feature. It only does this, if the sender sent format=flowed
(which Mozilla and I think also Eudora do by default). Disable sending
via hidden pref (prefs.js) |pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed",
false);|. It is currently possible to disable it during display (I
think). Filed bug 62031 <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62031>.

Thread pane: As I said above, it is being worked on currently. Expect a
lot of improvements in that area until 1.0 :).

putterman, something for your perf feedback plate :).

:)
Thanks for your feedback.
