I've been watching this discussion with interest. I've been using PowerMail for a while now, and I've recommended it to many people, but I'm gradually making the transition to Thunderbird -- I've got it on my laptop now -- still using PowerMail on my desktop. The two main reasons...
1. Inability to deal with html (printing or forwarding) 2. Inability to deal with IMAP servers I live in Toronto, Canada, and more and more of the mail that I'm receiving is html these days. I can see why some users might want to stay with plain text, but that doesn't work so well if you're receiving a lot of html. And the newest of my three active accounts is IMAP. I think there are more than enough good mail programs for a Mac user to choose from, so I guess users can make their own choices based on their needs. Perhaps there's no reason why everybody has to agree on what's most important. But I can't imagine that PowerMail would not be losing some faithful users, if they choose not to provide the flexibility and functionality that other programs can offer. BILL.
