Hm ... let's put it this way: For most users most of the time those headers are an annoyance. They're already subscribed, 'F' directs a followup to the list, they don't want to unsubscribe, etc. The rest of the time, it's trivial to format them as a pulldown or popup menu. Wouldn't _you_ prefer them that way? The only question is how to properly draw attention to the facility so it doesn't get lost in the Macromedia[tm] Flash[R]. Brad> Mailman does the right thing here, Agreed. Brad> as does Qualcomm/Eudora. Arguable, as it's basically what Gnus does ;-), but apparently the users disagree. The Eudora interface reeks of Emacs thinking, which *I* love, but I wouldn't inflict on my mother or even my siblings (two out of three of whom develop software for a living). Look, since Eudora is doing basically the right thing here, I should stop trashtalking them. (*sigh*, again. It's a sad world we live in when drawing parallels to Emacs is "trashtalk".) But we can and should (IMHO) encourage them to offer the users something which is a _clear_ (even to one looking through stained-glass Windows) improvement over Murky-sloppy software.
