Nice list of the features you like. After reading all of the posts about Becky,
I downloaded version 2 beta 28, and here's what I didn't like. I didn't take
too much time to play with it, but the following features either weren't there
or weren't obvious:
1. No mail ticker
2. No message dispatcher
3. The interface reminded me way too much of Eudora :-)
I use the mail ticker and dispatcher a lot, and don't want to do without the
equivalents. I didn't list supports for templates, because I didn't dig deep
enough to find out how good Becky's support is in that area.
It does support proportional fonts, but I noticed that the default setup is to
use fixed fonts. :)
Liking or disliking the interface is completely up to each user to decide, but
Becky's interface just didn't do a thing for me. While TB!'s inteface isn't
perfect, there isn't another quite like it, which to me, means it has character.
I'm intrigued about the plug-in newsreader support; that sounds great! I am
another long-time Agent user, and I would love to see TB! offer plug-in
newsreader support in the future.
