Please trim when replying. You quoted Gerry's message in its entirety
*including* his PGP signature. That is against the rules of this list.

Well, try not to be. We have been waiting for v2 to come out for over
a year now and RIT labs only have two programmers. This is a *clear*
priority.

This may be the case, but Gerry makes a very good point about the
availability of third party components. I don't think that the guys
at RIT will be in a position to put together a Linux preview version
for around 6 months, given that v2 is under way and needs completing,
beta testing and releasing before they can even start the job.

This is a fair point, but OTOH, pedigree shows. Max and Stefan wrote
TB out of their familiarity with Fido and from years of work. There is
a wealth of functionality in TB that *isn't* GUI bound and will port
much more easily than a competitor can match in a new MUA.

They read the lists from time to time but rarely reply due to the
pressure of work. I don't like to distract them from that to answer
points of simple curiosity. I trust them to make announcements at
their convenience.
