I understand your point, but in the end it comes down to priorities for resources. If there are already open source resources available it seems sensible to develop them rather than start from scratch. But even then it takes some resource to do it. In an ideal world there would be unlimited resources to make all aspects of Open Source perfect but its not an ideal world. Those that pay the piper call the tune. We can lobby for the things we want here - and mail client is a popular request - but in the end the only way to be certain to get what you want is to do it yourself. At least that is an option even if not realistic for you at this point in time. If all the people that had requested a mail client could get together and put $10 in a development kitty it might happen but someone would have to coordinate that effort and people ould have to be prepared to put their money in. -- Ian Lynch www.theINGOTs.org www.opendocumentfellowship.org www.schoolforge.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
