When you say something like that, perhaps you could reference an explicit list of those things which you think are missing? Riwos' combined folder/message view and the clean templates without rounded corners are two very big improvements IMO. I would drop sounds entirely though; that's just an annoyance and a waste of code. The amount of customisation which should be possible using *only* CSS is huge. Have a look at http://www.csszengarden.com/ for some superb examples. If sqwebmail could work in that model, then we could happily allow end-users to customise their templates without meddling with the HTML at all. That of course would mean dropping explicit support for non-CSS browsers, since sqwebmail purposely mixes CSS and non-CSS attributes to get some reasonable rendering on ancient browsers. Personally I would go that route; the number of users without CSS1-aware browsers must be pretty small by now, and the page would render visibly anyway. But I do think it's important to support text-only browers (for accessibility) and non-Javascript browsers (for security). (csszengarden renders perfectly cleanly under lynx, incidentally) Regards, Brian.
