And it's *still* better in that respect than, say, Outlook.

(Though there are unfortunately-many messages where it won't display them in any usable form - but a lot of those seem to be more the fault of poor structuring of the mail on the part of the sender, and Outlook tends to handle such messages even worse.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
