Okay, Steve, let's finish with this:-) Besides, others here aren't pretty
interested in all this, as far as I can see. A couple of final remarks, though.
First of all, you and I use e-mail for different purposes and besides we've
got different habits of working with it, hence we're not likely to arrive to a
common denominator here:-) Anyhow, a couple of comments below:

It's *my* boss, not yours:-) He's got lots of other things to do other then
remembering my e-mail addresses:-) He usually just presses "Reply", and *I*
use different e-mail addresses at home and at work, hence his replies come
(at minimum) to both:-)

Nope, wrong here. Pegasus lets you assign any identity to any folder,
*including* the attached mailbox folders. This works much like in TB, although
Pegasus doesn't make use of templates the way TB does. In the case
discussed, I'd just create the identity with the proper dial-up settings (the dial-
up settings of the attached mailbox, verbatim) and attach it to the "Separate
me" mailbox... That would have done the trick.

Seems it does:-)

TB stores filters inefficiently; create 10 filters and you'll in a short time forget
which is where and what it does. These matters have been discussed on
TBBETA not long ago. For example, in TB you can't select, *which* filter or
group of filters manually to apply. Furthermore, TB doesn't allow logical
grouping of filters. Hopefully, this will be changed for version 2. OTOH, in
Pegasus all the above-mentioned functionality is already at your fingertips,
therefore it doesn't really matter whether I've got 100 or 1000 filters:-)

I've got much more:-) Filtering *really* helps, when it's efficient.
Good night to you:-)

Thought for the day:
If it moves, salute it; if it doesn't move, pick it up;
if you can't pick it up, paint it.
