Hear hear. Google messed up royally with GMail. Thunderbird is the last mail client that even tries to be useful and conformant ... the one before that was mutt. Considering how long e-mail has been around, this is a major disaster. The problem with e-mail is not that it's "90's technology", it's that most people use clients that are apparently designed to be as bad and useless as possible. This trend started with Outlook ... and I'm disgusted that Google followed in Microsoft's steps in this respect. -- Brane
