Agreed. I dumped Agent in favor of Dialog as Agent v2 seemed to be
vaporware. The trash folder thing was the last straw. I lived with
Agent for years using it for email, too until I found TB v1.5 so to
me, there is a definite limit to how long one can stand still and not
get clobbered by the competition.

  But why do I still secretly yearn for TB 1.63 with just a *few* more
  UI features? V3 is superior in so many ways, but the complexity and
  the 40mb+ mem usage...
