No, between developing an HTML editor and developing IMAP support.

When I still used mnemos, they were all three letters long. But maybe
that was changed later, so you may be right. And no, I don't know
that.

Depends. I used TB in my last office (and it was ideal) and I would
have moved all 45 staff in my department to TB if it had appropriate
Chinese-language support. We didn't use IMAP (but POP) nor TB's
client/server mode (but an Exchange server). But of course, it depends
on your setup, so you are not completely wrong.

Yeah, well. I didn't see the marketing reasearch data, but apparently,
the HTML editor is a big issue. I trust Stefan on this.

That's why development will include an HTML editor.

There have been 5 betas out in the last couple days?weeks? and I don't
call that slow. And based on release versions, I would still say that
TB development is still on the "rapid" side of the industry.

We do have something in common. :-)
