Tyrone, you are #41. Re your interesting note below about telling developers what we need. I wouldn't have known what to ask for before using CE - and in truth was spoiled from the beginning because its all I am familiar with. Nevertheless, I know instinctively that it satisfies all my needs for speedy operation (filing, deleting, sending, reading, format, ease of operation). As my archive of folders and files have expanded over the years one can only wonder at how efficient the program is. When I open other programs (particularly web mail) its strictly LOVE CE even more :) What minor problems do exist appear to be with the interface - hard luck for the others and a nuisance to us!
Its no wonder there are no updates - I would be hard pressed to figure out how to improve it :) Can't help but sound glowing!!
