I've coming up on 20 years of email history .. well 17 anyway ... and while thunderbird has been a pain at times as people bring their own ideas to how it should work, I can search for an item and get a list of posts irrespective of which list it was on. I can pick up a clients emails and his posts to those same lists and it saves a lot of time over other methods of tracking problems. No objections to forums ... as long as I can keep a copy via my inbox, and while cnczone does try it only gets effort from me when I feel it's worth it. Not having a local copy of MY messages is the pain in a few places. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
