While there's that, I was thinking more on the user's side. Have you seen mail clients with filtering as good as on news agents? Ignore a thread - the whole thread vanishes from sight, and stays there. Watch a thread - kept an eye out for the ones you were interested in, and highlighted them for you. Kill files - send a thread, or an author to the eternal bit bucket. A massive array of message groups you could use, or ignore, all in one spot. Then there was caching. It was like web browsing, all the messages stored on the server, not filling up your own machine. It just kept temporary caches so you could move back and forth without redownloading, similar to IMAP. You held onto a few days worth, or whatever you preferred, for ease of reading. The server had a very long history, so you could find old messages. Then there was the message editors. Forté Inc's Agent had the first message editor I found that didn't mangle quoted text. It could reflow your text, and quoted text, and not bugger it up. Pan was close, but not quite as good. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
