Of screwing up everyone's mail threading, since it fails to retain threading references,
Not sure what that is.
Then you need to learn about the In-Reply-To header, which is what makes nice hierarchical topic structures possible in contemporary, standards-based mail clients.
Um, okay. I prefer flat listing in date order. My usenet client - Pan - is set the same way.
and enabling trojans, worms and virii to do their dirty work,
Those are not a portion of the client, but rather the underlying OS, which is inferior.
You've got that really wrong. The underlying Windows OS kernel is just fine and well designed.
Heh. That's funny!
It _is_ the fact that Outlook and Outlook Express will automatically invoke active content of the messages they receive (compounded by the ability of that code to access many local resource and initiate outgoing email) that makes them such a ripe portal of infection and transmission of malware of various sorts.
Again, the OS. If I ran active content on KMail or Thunderbird or whatever under *nix, I'm still only one user and cannot infect the system files, wherever they're located - /etc/fu/bar /bin/bash /usr/opt/home I use KMail on my laptop, simply because it is integrated and has a decent interface. There are - however - many things that I would like to see updated. They're all UI features that I think the Outlook client has it right for most - if not all - these desired features. Keep in mind - I'm discussing the client functionality, ease of use, intuitiveness (which is probably the same thing), customization, and speed. All of these are end-user experience features and very subjective. I am stating nothing about the underlying code, adherence to "standards", or security. I'm sure some email uber-geek out there will tell me all my arguments are bogus and that I should be using Mutt or Pine. :P -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
