Not only that. But with the following statement he
bases that outdated opinion as a premise for all the alternative
email faithful as being mistaken...
"But I guess I have some disappointing news. I've looked at all
three programs in the past and have found them wanting."
Nevertheless, I think his self proclaimed professional
opinion makes something else very clear: TB is so functional and
so different that one can use TB for years and still learn
something new every day. Unlike other less powerful clients, TB
can't be seen as not offering a function simply because it
doesn't have a shiny button explicitly stating that purpose: If
you can conceive it, odds are that you can do it with TB...you
just have to find out how.
Likewise, Mr. Finnie's misjudgments may also point a
finger at the real source of finding TB "wanting": that would
be the lack of a full blown manual and context sensitive help
that is a little more sensitive to the actual task at hand.
There are more important individuals out there testing TB than
Mr. Finnie and they are likely less daft but less technically
proficient as well...such as those email users at the business
level looking for simple solutions to OE and Outlook's
shortcomings like simply selecting 100 messages at once and
exporting them to text files. That simple need alone has given
me the opportunity to push 3 business level registrations of TB
in the last two months.
Without a super manual or having someone hold Finnie's
hand through setting up TB to his needs, I'd say send him an
invitation to sit in on this list for a week or two. After all,
the true manuals and help files reside here.

Nice try. Personally, I'd take an inquisitive and
innovative "newbie" over a biased set in his ways "expert" any
day.
