No, as in headers. Those are headers, not "kludges" like TB! calls them.

Unless you're checking headers on a mailing list where there may be an
abudance of Received and list related headers it isn't that hard to find "To:"
and "CC:"

I doubt that. Most clients don't do MIME unless there is an attachment or
any other reason (national coding) to do so. I only know of one client that
uses MIME even when there is only text. TB! /might/ be another but I've not
taken a gander at the raw message bases lately.

Which is why I dislike the tabs completely, especially when they are
redundant.

List view, details. This allows a small icon, a name, a type, and
information about the type if it can be dealt with. For example:
[] Signature/PGP PGP Valid signature from Steve Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[] Image/GIF GIF 23k 800x600

I read in 1600x1200 as well. I just don't do it full screen since I also
have ICQ, Winamp and my MP3 folders open on that desktop.

Baby step #1, Mutt, ever since it does MIME. Noone else yet has followed.
