Precisely Allie! (if I can refer to you as such)
That's what I've been trying to say. Its the features which Ritlabs
have put in that require a better interface. Whether in this context
"better" means "more attractive" (however that's defined) or "more
like other Windows clients" is open to debate. I like TB, but not the
way it presents itself to the world. Somebody suggested I look at
Mail Warrior, a little Windows program that will fit on a floppy, and
it has the kind of interface I would hope TB would adopt, if not all
of the power (and no PGP support). If it were a matter of the
interface, I wouldn't be using TB today.
