How does IMAP get along with users who insist on restricting email to
plain text only? Not accepting HTML email is part of my defense against
computer exploits.
As I remember TWC Roadrunner switched over to IMAP just before the
fiasco with their email servers being unavailable for SEVERAL MONTHS.
How does that work using an external email client like Thunderbird?

Yes, the A 2X-S enables full frame. The DA 1.4 X vignettes a bit with full
frame, so I usually shoot crop mode with that, although I can get more image

the cars I've shot for my work with the lens are sharper and more detailed.
Using the 2x converter for small bird pics allows me to use a lot of the frame.

I like Annsan's crop or the variants on it (#6, #7) the best. It does
put the focus on the skiers more but the photo works better. The right
side is sort of hanging in space but it creates a nice tension in the
image - feels like the skiers will be swooping off to whatever on their
way down.
Nice collection. The mossy pine tree is excellent.
