I personally don't like gui applications for mail, since it restricts my availability to mail, a very critical part of my daily job function. Regarding your SirCam issue, you can 'defang' those with fetchmail, procmail, or some intelligent sendmail filters. There's hundreds of sources on the net for those. > Good questions.

Isn't there prior work here from another contributor that was working on a Macintosh "toolbar" plugin or some such for Netscape?

Sure, give it a name, and I'll create a repository for it on sourcefubar.net (physically the same box as plkr.org) and we can reference it there. I'm not sure that this should be inside the Plucker cvs directly, even though it's a supporting tool, it's not part of the same codebase. /d
