Hello Steve & all fellow TBUDL members,

As I understand it, he wants to see it all together in one place. You
point out that this can be accomplished in TB by filtering. However -
he wants the source to be clearly *identified* and to be able to
automatically organize each message according to the source account at
will, as well as being able to reply to each message from the right
account automatically. This can be accomplished by having an accounts
column, as Calypso does.
I used Calypso before changing forever to TB. But this is a feature
that I miss and that I asked TB's developers for before registering my
TB. The TB developer who answered said he thought this *would* be
included in v. 2 as an option. If Alex is talking about something
else, I am not. I miss the account column, and whoever didn't want
that to appear in his TB would have to use it (like any other column).
Another thing Calypso has is a little window for selecting the
signature (as many as you want) in each composition window.
It's not a matter of why, it's a matter of personal preference. In
this case, I share that preference, which may be based on work habits
or way of organizing one's thoughts.
Calypso crashed permanently and I discovered that their tech support
consists of AHs, where the H stands for hole. The Calypso user group
posted a total of 4 posts during 1999, the last one in May. Pegasus
crashes for me too. I use TB and want to see an account column built
in.

This can all happen automatically.

It's not a strain, it's a waste of time and unnecessary.
