Other comments on 0.64.2:-

Like most of the UI changes, *love* the restore interrupted compose
session.

One concern - it seems that a folder is now opened by a *right*
mouse click (ie to bring up folder menu).  This is almost aways
A BAD THING from a UI perspective.  Firstly, it breaks the usual
model of user interaction - menu buttons should not cause any
action to happen until selection is made (though they can change the
'focus' / highlight to give feedback that the correct object has
been identified.  Secondly you often want to keep the current email 
active whilst you perform the menu task.  Most often this is 
'create new folder' - i.e. you want to create a new folder TO FILE 
THE CURRENT EMAIL IN!  So to have the current folder closed for you
(without asking!) and another folder opened that you aren't even 
interested in (viz the parent of the folder you want to create)is a 
pain in the butt.  Big time.  It's probably the biggest single cause 
of complaint about the Netscape 4&6 UI (I haven't tried 7).

Please, please, please - go back to the 0.64.1 way of working.  Do
not break fifteen years of UI research and design improvements just
because some twit in AOL got the Netscape UI wrong :-(.

Rgds,
  Jerry
