Years ago, I switched to PM because (coming from Claris Emailer) I felt immediately at home with it. I still do. For a while, I had been forced to use Outlook, which I despised, and I've tried Apple's Mail, which I thought was a bit strange. PM is still the mail client I like best. Now from time to time, there are people complaining about how PM isn't more like mail client X, Y, or Z. But if I preferred X, Y, or Z, I would have switched to one of those a long time ago. As it happens, I like the basic philosophy behind PM. There is certainly room for improvement, no doubt about that, but basically, PM's just fine. I would hate it to turn into a replica of one of the competing clients. Diversity is a good thing, and certainly preferrable to following standards that aren't even standards. - Michael Michael J.
