you know what? you're absolutely right! CTM didn't make it clear (at least i didn't catch on right away) that they were aiming for the non- HTML crowd. so i had certain expectations that haven't quite panned out. however, i've since stumbled across Thunderbird and it looks like a keeper. thanks everyone for your input!
