Hi!
I got referred to your website about Mahogany somewhat on a whim, but I 
was most interested in what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, 
personally I do not have any skills useful to your project other than 
perhaps a tester!

I went straight from CP/M machines to Macs and I don't do Windows!  
However, I've been using Claris Emailer 2.0v.3 for my email client for a 
number of years now.  I subscribed to their very active and knowledgeable 
list serve, where other email clients are routinely and informally 
compared to the features of Emailer and mainly found wanting.  Since 
Emailer is officially an orphan, everyone expects sooner or later to have 
it break irretrieveably; however, Emailer is still happily functioning in 
OS X.  One of the regular participants in the list serve was actually one 
of the Emailer developers at Apple/Claris, and a few similar types lurk 
and  pop up from time to time.

The reason I mention this is that the consensus there is that Emailer 
was/is the most elegant client program written, because it has such great 
flexibility.  It seems that no one person uses all its power.  (Sort of 
like ProVUE's Panorama in that respect.)  There is talk on the list serve 
from time to time of doing an updated version of Emailer; apparently, 
some problem exists as to whether or not  a copy of the source code is 
actually still extant.  Anyway, if you are trying to write a program 
which has the "best features" of all the existing, I certainly hope  
you've looked carefully at Emailer.  If you are looking for any 
additional ideas, you might check out the Emailer list serve, too.

Cheers!
Mike B.
