I think I'm an exception here then ;-) It was a little more than 2
years ago I think that I quit CompuServe, and thus had the need to go
out looking for a "real" mail client. My very first expirience was
some very annoyingly handleable mail client supplied as part of a
networking package I happened to have installed. I used it for about
2 mails and that was that. So I went over to winfiles.com and started
looking for a nice offline reader. After seeing TB was by RITlabs,
the guys who made my favorite DOS-shell, the choice was clear, and I
didn't even try anything else ... a little biased, posssibly. But it
seems my mother, who is unwilling to learn even the slightest
advanced functionality, can handle the basic functions of TB without
my help <g> Well, that's my story, for anyone who likes to read
stories.
Oh, and yes. I mostly agree on your other points.
