Well, Forte' Agent is certainly not fancy <g>, and I didn't find
it particularly intuitive on the first try. It's a nice app, I assure
you, and I use it at present. I had also read an article of similar
quality which compared news-readers and their main grouse with Forte'
Agent was how 'complicated ' it was.
I've tried Poco Mail as well. It's certainly glitters. <g> But,
although it shares many if The Bat!'s features 'on paper', the
implementation is not as good IMHO. A major deterrent for the casual,
mainstream user to use TB!, I've found is the editor and the overall
complexity. These have been the main two things that have turned off
many people who I have tried TB! after I recommended it. In it's present
state it's not for everyone and I doubt that it will hit any charts of
the nature posted by Paula.
Tracer once made a very prudent point. Two versions of TB!? A
pro version and a simpler version? ......
