Trust us, it is the only way email should be.

Right, it is cultural. It is the online culture to separate paragraphs
with a CR. You're online, time to do as the romans do.

No idea on the free caret but the fixed font is simple. If everyone has
variable width font then nothing comes out to look anywhere remotely as it
should. The only sane solution is to use a fixed-width font so what you see
will closely approximate what they will see. Again, refer to my signature as
an example.

Feh, filter report is nasty anyway. I don't want this stupid window
popping up every minute telling me I have new mail. Yes, I check every minute
and during the day, on a busy day, I can get more than 1 mail a minute across
my accounts. The fact that the folder list has hightlights and numbers of new
mail in each folder already tells me that I have new mail and where it is.
Which is also why having new mail trigger going into the inbox is foolish. Of
the 3-600 messages a day I get on average maybe 5 in each account gets to the
inbox.
If you want it to bouce to your inbox chances are you're not filtering and
are already sitting in your inbox. If you are filtering then your mail isn't
going to the inbox and, again, there is no need for it.
