After notes, lookout , and the free MUA client users are discarded, how many users are left to actually buy a third party client? Maybe it was a good MUA at one time but the last time I tried it a few years ago some insane amount of feature creep/bloat seemed to have happened. IIRC, it even has some kind of scripting enabled now by default. Has no one learned anything from the outlook debacle!? It's also one of those god forsaken html friendly things. Even thunderbird is kind of sheisty in this regard. It'll display and do everything in html by default and you can't turn it all off through the interface; .js hackery required :( In fact, even with the hacks applied you can observe that the default "graphical style" rendering of message text still taking place under the covers by loading the machine to slow down screen refresh. It's saving grace is a rather decent html stripping mode. ~Jason --
