Really? Public betas of 2? That would be nice. I thought it would be
several months yet.

Larger?! They're already too large for me. The buttons are too large,
but the icons are small in relation to the size of the buttons.

I don't _know_ anything, but among things mentioned on the list as being
likely to be in or improved in version 2 are:

-IMAP
-shareable address books, separate address books for users, and,
 in general, address book improvements
-editor support for RTF, proportional fonts, etc.
-flagging/color-coding of messages

Do you know that any of these things will not be addressed in version 2?

One thing not discussed much, but that I would put near the top of my
list for version 2 is improvements to the Mail Dispatcher.

Oh ... and let's not forget, a new Help file. ;)
