No chance. Client level stuff is a bitch to manage as a company (we'd rather write a plugin for exchange - which may be just as easy, but I haven't tried that (yet?)). It was purely for fun, and to see if I could stem the tide of spam before we rolled out our anti-spam stuff. >>And no, I can't give away the code - sorry :-( But I will say it's easy >>enough to do, given sufficient tuits. >> >Well to tell you the truth although it sounds quite neat I don't realy want >it.

You have to get used to some of its idiosyncracies, but once you do, it's a killer mail client. The only thing it lacks is a "mark all read" feature, but you can do that in something like 4 key presses, so it's not fatal (note that I'm testing out Mozilla's mail client at the moment, and while it's not bad, it's a bit flaky and I hate the GUI-ness of it). You certainly miss things like "prefer text/plain", and "zoom" when you switch to something else. >I'm currently thinking about giving up on my Proxy server.
