Also, its editor is primitive compared to MicroEd.
I'll agree wholeheartedly with that. MicroEd is far and away the think I miss most about TB! However, simply being able to receive my mail is considerably more important than the editor.
DG> I do like TBird's *optional* downloading of HTML images and proper
DG> display of HTML formatted emails.
I work almost exclusively with neophyte users all over the world. Having this option is one way for the ignorant to become vulnerable.
I see your point. But on the other hand, these same neophyts could open the same email in their browser with the same results. Plus, TBird's display of HTML emails *without* remote images is still far superior and more readable than TB!'s non-image display.
Most of my subscriptions have a text only option which I use exclusively. When your internet access is paid for by the minute the typically 1/5 size of a text message pays dividends.
True :)
DG> However, when it comes to TB, usable IMAP is far more important to me DG> than anything to do with HTML. If we want to talk about unusable IMAP, DG> TB truly is without peers among MUA's that claim to support IMAP! I understand. However, virtually all the people I support do not have IMAP as an option, nor is it desirable in most instances.
Everyone has different priorities. In spite of all of its shortcomings, TBird is a far better fit for my priorities right now than TB!. All of us are stating our priorities and wishes in the hopes that they will be taken into consideration by RITLabs as they continue to develop TB!.
