Hello Gerry & others on this TB! list & following this thread,
Friday, June 29, 2001, you stated regarding why Poco means "Not Much"
compared to TB!:
GD> I am in fact a registered user of both Poco AND The Bat!. I, of
GD> course, prefer and use TB! I moved from Poco to TB!.
<snip re Wife uses Poco>
GD> - From my perspective the best thing about Poco that I miss is the
GD> scripting language. Period. There is a lot of "eye candy". the
GD> interface looks great, but I don't need it.
GD> The Bat!, in my opinion, blows Pocomail away.
GD> By the way, skins don't thrill me. It's the functionality that
GD> thrills me.
That's what I was looking for - for a start.
I would appreciate more detail regarding the "functionality that
thrills" you (the functionality offered by TB!, obviously).
I'll start it off:
pocomail (I'm told) has no Spanish version & therefore, no Spanish
spell checking. I need both English and Spanish spell checking
which TB! has.
I'll mention a few more traits that make TB! indispensable and
include a YES () | NO () option for whether pocomail has them.
Simultaneous downloading of multiple accounts (16, in my case)
Can Poco do this? YES () | NO ()
I was able to paste in the YES () | NO () directly below the one
above by moving straight down. In fact. TB! does columns. Can Poco
do this? YES () | NO ()
Can Poco reformat my paragraphs with a keystroke combo when I decide
to insert or delete a remark or divide a long paragraph ? Can Poco
do this? YES () | NO ()
How about the automatic tabulator function that adjusts to the line
above? Can Poco do this? YES () | NO ()
(This means I can indent a whole block a given number of spaces
easily, among other things).
TB!'s Folders can have their own templates and even the language
used for replying (i.e. the date) can vary with the folder.
Can Poco do this? YES () | NO ()
At first I considered replying directly to Gerry and hit ctrl+F4 to
do that. Can Poco do this? YES () | NO ()
What else can TB! do that Poco can't? Does Poco do PGP?
Can Poco change caps to lower case & vice versa w/ a keystroke
combo? Can Poco do this? YES () | NO ()
Is the filtering as good or better? YES () | NO ()
Is there a Poco user's group as responsive and as knowledgeable as
this one? YES () | NO ()
If you need Tech Support, are you likely to get a reply from one of
Poco's principle developers? YES () | NO ()
Is Poco's message search function as good or better? YES () | NO ()
How about it's search & replace function when editing. Is it as good
or better' YES () | NO ()
Is there a virtual ticker window for any number of folders?
YES () | NO ()
Your opinion confirms what I've heard to date from others: compared
to TB! Poco is less not more than TB! where functionality (not
gloss) is concerned), at less the kind of functionality I need.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Douglas
