You quoted me in this message, probably because it was part of Mykael's,
and my message said nothing of the kind. I do wish people wouldn't put
words into my stuff. It makes it difficult to participate.

Now, having said that, while your "hurray hurray!" speech is good and I
agree with 95% of everything you praise, there is a time when people need
to really take stock of what is important to them and consider moving on
to another mail client. I do it with software all the time. Sometimes it
DOES come down to just one feature, and, unlike some applications,
changing email clients generally isn't that much of a problem. (One can
always archive their old mail if it won't come into a new client.) At
least, it's much less of a problem than cursing software you use every
minute of your workday and more. :)

CTM is a business. They'll understand. (They'll also change things if it
comes to it.)

>No BS about getting used to stuff, or to say "wouldn't it be better if.."

This assumes all of us who like things the way they are are just used to
it, and I disagree. Some of us -- perhaps the majority of us, since a lot
of PM users probably aren't even on this mail list -- don't really want a
lot of the changes that are often mentioned here. (Now don't read into
that that I think the search engine is one of those. :) It may need
tweaks; it may even need to be eventually changed entirely to accommodate
the majority who are use to boolean searching.)

At any rate, this is the last I'll be saying on anything close to this
issue for a while. Anything more will only likely be misinterpreted and
deconstructed. :)
