My experience is that even careful reporters have a very, very difficult time when reporting technical issues. In this case, what I thought was significant about the article was not that it was right or wrong, or even that it listed so few clients. Rather, my reason for forwarding it is that I think it does correctly reflect the public perceptions about email clients. It lists the more popular clients and it lists some very significant requirements that are not being met for the general public. In effect, it suggests things that TB (and other, modern clients) can focus on in their marketing literature, to provide clear differentiation from the market leaders. It also suggests what they should also focus on in their product development (to ensure that the relevant capabilities are easy to use, powerful, etc.) d/ -- Dave <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> t +1.408.246.8253; f +1.408.850.1850 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
