Unfortunately yes. And I looked at SM code briefly and decided it was the mutant

Did you know that the Netscape engineer who designed and implemented the
Mork file format wrote all his newsgroup/forum postings in haiku? I am
sure you will not be surprised that mozilla is moving as fast as
possible to replace all uses of mork with sqlite. Despite some
performance problems with sqlite (due to it being a general purpose
RDBMS to be sure) the code is much much, well, saner, not to mention
being actually understandable by mere mortals.

...holy crap. How can you even call it a "team", if there's no
discipline or coordination between the "team" members - volunteers or
not? I'm beginning to understand what the core problem here is...and
I'm not much encouraged by what I'm learning/hearing.
Hopefully, the best and most "forward" move to come with the 2.x release
series will be some discipline and cooperative standards...
SM 1.1.18 does what I need, and the way I need it done. And I've been
looking over alternatives left and right - Firefox...nogo. Camino,
Stainless, Chrome, and Safari all look like they have common roots.
Thunderbird 3.0 - I have to say I'm increasingly impressed the more I
use it. So, it's looking like I may end up dropping my predilection for
the integrated suite. At least I'm finding alternatives that would fit
my preference as a user. But SM 1.1.18 still kicks it.
