OK ... write that one off :-)

lol! I hadn't thought of it as a relative, exactly, but
you may be right :-) After all, my DH is as deaf as a

An armed truce, sort of?

I think the issue is (for me anyway), if the function
hasn't been upgraded, or at least debugged, then I don't
consider an improved interface much of an inducement.

As long as it can be done without turning the package into
slow bloatware :-)

If I can figure out how to deal with the warts in
2.12, I'll keep that at least, unless I can find something
that does excellent IMAP, but so far ... I'm beginning to
think it's IMAP itself. I wasn't impressed with TBird or
Mulberry; I gather those are pretty highly thought of ..
I'm probably hooked on TB; you're right, it's like family:
can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!

Anyway, thanks!
