"Just a pet peeve of mine--launch a new window so there isn't a back

jumping to sites which won't let you return to the search page 'cause of
some stupid POST/RELOAD mechanism....
You may now return to your previously scheduled thread.... "
Not yet, I want to get my say in...

Ah yes, I know. There's an old saying that goes something like, "You can
have everything you want, but not at the same time." Imail's lack of an API
forces us to do some wacky things. Ipswitch really "blew it" when the made
such a cool thing like web messaging as part of IMail, but realize that what
we wanted was web-mail functionality. Just imagine what kind of third party
add-ons would become available if an API existed and we could integrate web
messaging with our sites instead of using the IMail "web server". Come on
everybody, shout it out We want an API! We want an API! We want an API! :-)
Ahem... sorry about that.
A properly designed site should minimize the need to use the back button.
I've gotten in the habit of spawning a new browser window (with ctrl-n)
before hitting a link that I might want to return from. It's a lot easier to
close an extra browser window and wind up right where you were before than
to work the back button.
But I consider it incredibly rude and offensive when a website spawns a new
browser window for me.
