It is, I agree, mildly annoying when someone posts an signoff message
to the list.  It would, I submit, be a major annoyance to have
something like this at the top of every message.

I'd say we have burned more band width discussing the most recent
unsubscribe message, than would be taken over the next 6 to 12 months
with similar errors by other users.

That is one of the M$ LookOut settings reply using the same format as the

Hello Alexander & all fellow TBUDL members,

Sunday, December 05, 1999, Alexander wrote in response to Ali's
comments regarding Alex's stated preferences on TUBDL for certain
function (primarily related to filtering), which he finds more useful
in Pegasus than in TB!:

Particularly during the 30 day evaluation period, when it's reasonable
to assume that many persons are evaluating more than one email client
(as I certainly did), it's equally reasonable to assume that many
persons will for one reason or another (related as much to their own
backgrounds, perceptions and abilities as to anything else), choose to
remain with a one that isn't TB!

During the long interchange that ensued regarding "Activating only
certain filters", it was evident to me that Alexander identifies with
TB and by contributing in such a clear and detailed way (as Ali
himself has so often done) to to the discussion on filtering, was
supporting both the ability of current registered users and those
evaluating TB to understand and get the best out of TB's actual
filtering mechanisms, but also to understand other possible (and
possibly preferable) filtering options that could certainly become
implemented on future versions of TB.

To that end, two of the responses that I made to Alex at the time were
bcc'd to TB's principle programmer, believing as I still do that the
criticisms were well founded and these issues are addressable and
hopefully will be in v. 2.

As for myself, I have downloaded no alternative email clients for
trial since registering TB and am more than willing to work within
TB's current limitations regarding filtering, which I have *not*
hardly used in the past with other email clients, preferring to see it
all in one place on arrival and manually separate it from there, since
while a filter may be effective regarding (say) a given subject or
source, it can not be so effective in terms of the weight, importance
or need for follow up given to a particular message by me at the
moment.

I have begun to use TBs filtering mechanisms and *do* feel that a real
need exists to be able to invoke filters manually *on an individual
basis* through what could be termed a filter manager, where all
filters created are available for selection. (And I would like to see
a similar "manager" available for selectively activating the ticker).

This goes beyond the folder level filtering used by Pegasus that Alex
described. Being able to color code messages (or flags) via a filter
(a la Pegasus) and/or manually (as in the flags of many others) is
another a useful option I for one would like to see implemented soon
in TB, along with the ability to edit received messages (which
sometimes arrive with absent or misleading subjects, for instance).

As for Pegasus, I know people that do use it heavily but my own
experience has not been positive, due to it's erratic behavior on my
old IBM Value Point and it's "less than intuitive" (as Alex described
it) user interface. For that reason, it's not even installed at the
moment.

While TB drives me up a tree momentarily now and then due to
inadvertent keystrokes activating unwanted functions, I am very much
at home with it's advanced composition features, good stability and
ability to download and send from multiple accounts simultaneously.

In the best of all *possible* worlds, an improved TB is certainly good
enough for me, and that goes for the support received from RITLabs and
of course TBUDL itself. (I say improved because some of this was
discussed with RITLabs prior to registering). Although I've been told
of other supposedly good email email clients, I continue to dedicate
time to assimilating TB's current features and commands, which
increases my appreciation of it and lessens my interest in the
temptations posed by supposedly greener grass on another side of the
fence.
