Um...I have to admit that I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here. I suppose I could guess, but could you explain a bit more? > what do u think is the best in the linux world.. i dont like using > M$ programs with wine cuz its the reason i dont use M$ programs.. > heheh Just to be clear about something...The Bat! is not a "MS program", as it's just a program that happens to be written for use on Windows. When I deal with Windows, the OS itself is the only "MS program" that I use. Evolution feels too much like OE to me (eek!), so that alone kinda makes me cringe. That may not be the most rational reason to dislike it, but there are other things I don't like about it as well. In fact, in order to re-format the cut up quoted text above, I had to resort to using a Windows text cleanup/re-formatting utility that I currently have working under Wine. Also...I don't know why this happens, but very often, Evolution freezes for several seconds, and this is quite annoying. I must admit (again and again), that I'm quite spoiled by using The Bat! for email, so I can only really evaluate the various Linux email clients I've tried in terms of being the "least offensive of the bunch". In that sense, even though Sylpheed-claws seems to have more options, I'm finding Kmail has earned my "least offensive" award for the moment. :-) As far as running The Bat! under Wine goes, I wish I didn't feel that it was my only chance to be really happy with an email client in Linux, but at this point, it is. What I really wish for is to have TB! ported to Linux, so I wouldn't have to deal with Wine at all (I could then even use the TB! editor to enhance Knode or Pan composition, and wouldn't have to use the cleanup/re-formatting utility I'm currently using under Wine to work with those). I know that many here will refuse to try any program written for Windows, so I don't expect them to really understand why I'm not very impressed with the various Linux email clients when I compare them to The Bat!, but what can I say?...what you don't know can't impress you! :-) -- Melissa
