Aye. :)

They're usually GNOME 1.0 or October GNOME, aren't they? Helix Code GNOME is
1.2, and it shows.
They're calling it a 'distribution of GNOME' -> it's basically GNOME tarted
up to look nice and clean, with a few extra utilities.

You get to choose how much you want... I think the basic required download
is about 40? I'm totally guessing here. ;)

Well, the Helix Code monkeys (as they prefer to be known) use it as their
day-to-day mailer, committed to 'eating their own'. A new release has just
come out which, from other reports, sounds stable.
I tried 0.3, and was quite pleased. The fact that it *looks* like Outlook
pales in comparison to not *working* like Outlook. I'd venture to say that
it doesn't suck, but that would be going against the law of mailers and
probably destroy the universe or something.
