TheBat! is by far the best windows mail program I've seen (unless mutt
is available for windows and I don't know about it). It sure beats
Netscape Mail or LookOut, anyway.

Of course, that's like saying "I have the best tasting poo out of
everybody here!" ;)

It's more than just AOL and Outlook. I have a friend who uses webmail
(on his mac), and I often receive replies that look like this:

> Ah, yes I have seen that with AOL clients. But, I've seen it with
Outlook users as well. I guess that
tells me that people are picking up what their friends do. I guess
It Is So in those circles.

Or even like this:

> Ah, yes I have seen that with AOL clients.
But, I've seen it with Outlook users as
well. I guess that tells me that people are
picking up what their friends do. I guess It
Is So in those circles.

It's wretched! Ugh!
