You've obviously never had to abandon a program you used for a very long time and that you've taken a strong liking to for whatever reasons, or your mentality is quite different from mine. I quite often find even simple upgrades from one major version to the other annoying because things I got used to have changed and I have to adapt to them. Note that I do not think that "my mailer doesn't support it so I do not have to go to the trouble of changing the recipients by hand" is a good argument and Daniel obviously realized that, but just saying "hey, it's old anyway so just switch to something newer" seems at least slightly out of touch with reality to me...
