It's partly that, but it's also because the application isn't really the right place to fix things like this. It's simpler to have mail clients punt mail delivery issues to a MTA where you can have one set of controls for the entire system than to have every client try to do everything itself. There's no point in having each client arrange for offline working and trying to get them to interact well when you could just as easily move that job into a separate program that everything could use. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
