9Val, if I understand this correctly, then we are currently testing
the following
"number 5" feature list:

 - IMAP
 - Unicode support
 - HTML editor improvements
 - Customization

If this be so, when do you suppose RL will look into the issue
involving the search engine hanging - for me, at least, whenever I try
to implement OTFE? In other words, the same search in Non-OTFE runs
fine; but after restoring from backup and trying to search the same
directories (now under OTFE), the search takes forever.

Also, if I understand correctly, RL has now basically discarded the
policy that you introduced on June 24 when you gave the above roadmap.
At that time, you said:

"We  are  taking  course  to  not-fixed-date  releases, which means no
 deadlines  and no rush. Only approved by your responses versions will
 be named releases."

But in this thread, you have "clarified" that policy as follows:

"This policy doesn't mean, that official release will be published only
after  beta-testers  will  approve  it  - it will take ages. We should
balance  on the edge between your approval and our needs. Now we can't
wait  more  - 3 developers are staying and waiting for serious changes
while all possible fixes are done, others will take weeks."

As I see it, this "clarification" is so vague as to make the initial
announcement virtually meaningless. But I always considered the policy
to be impractical (as you might notice from my responses a month ago).
So I don't feel any big loss here. The main question I have now is
only how much value to give to your "number 5" feature list -
especially as I remain concerned about the search engine problem when
moving from Non-OTFE to OTFE.

And, last but not least, can RL give assurance that we can use 3.51.10
without worrying about the message content distortion and loss issues
that were reported in the early releases of 3.51?
