Except for a decent IMAP implementation...

...and seamless PGP integration...

...and external editor support...

Hmmm, all?  What was that?  ;)

I could supply here a pretty long list of *essential* features that it doesn't 
support, but I won't. Go and read RFCs. These are in plain English. It ought to 
be even much simplier a reading for you then for me.

Actually, right now I've sometimes got a reverse feeling... that's why I'm still 
using Pegasus.

Nope, I do not. Have you been subscribed to PM-WIN? Just for example: 
here, on this list, only few of us have *ever* read RFCs (well, Steve, Marck, 
myself, have I forgotten anybody?). On PM-WIN, at least 20 guys are much at 
home when dealing with standards. That is, they are a bit ... err... more 
educated, that's what I wanted to say. No personal offence, please, since I've 
counted myself this time on TBUDL rather then on PM-WIN;-)

in other words, they tried to tell you how all this is supposed to work judging by 
the standards;-) Now try to look at it from their point of view: the userbase of 
Pegasus is *way* larger as of now, and they are forced to answer the same 
(usually stupid, like "why it doesn't work like in LookOut?") questions over and 
over again. BTW: the reasonable wishes are implemented "on the fly"...

I've read and argued news-related RFCs, if that counts...  ;)

I ment RFCs 822 and MIME-related 2045-2049, actually. Plus maybe 1652, 
1869, 1896, 2231. Wait until RITs add newsreading;-) I've never known the 
relevant standards, since I rarely read news at all (and for _my_ needs, 
mozilla is quite all right);-)
