Hi James, (Your message was received 09/02/08 02:21 am Hawaiian Time, but it has not yet posted on the Jive) Actually I very much like the way Jive is structured. By specifying the preferences to 50 threads per page and 50 messages per thread, I can have, most of the time, the entire thread under my perusal within a single Firefox tab. As I mentioned in my original post, two things need to be solved before Jive can go mainstream: auto text-wrapping when serving as a MUA, and no long delay between submission (from an email agent) and showing up at Jive. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
