Someone could perhaps say that e-mail was not "invented" to send attachments, at least large attachments. FTP was invented for that :) However, although I don't usually send large attachments I do received them, and I've never had the feeling that TB is slow displaying a message with attachments or saving them. > Agent's threading is also superior, IMO.

As I have said, I read and write news with TB, and I am not the only one. If you are interested, take a look at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg36819.html -- Best regards, Miguel A.
