Yes, that is one of the nice "builtin" features.  I know there is a
Windows add-on to do a similar trick, but few Windows users I know know
about it or use it.  I find I cannot put everything I need in one
desktop. :-)

Gnome still needs to add some more GUI tools for administration,
especially for MIME configuration. That is one area I have had to do
some research to configure correctly. It is all a bit too magical and
not that well documented.

You are more than welcome.  I switched to Evo about 8 months ago. It
does work well, but it does have its own share of quirks and glitches,
but it gets constantly improved. I switched principally because of the
Exchange connector support.  I have clients which use Exchange, so I
need it for work. It also helped when Novell released the connector to
Open Source.

I don't read ng's so I do not have that problem. But I am not surprised
there are better alternatives.
