But The Bat is (as you sure would agree with me on) is far more than a regular spam generator (sorry, been up too long). It sports very extensible template support, filtering, tremendous threading, multithreaded folder browsing and searching, heavy-duty mail editor, etc. etc. etc. > While it's true that TB! can hold > a tremendous amount of mail, a good archive database has all sorts of > features that a mailer does not need (and would be included only at > the cost of bloat and absence of other features). Having the features I mentioned doesn't involve product bloat. If coded in a decent way (which the RITlabs team surely would manage) this extra feature set wouldn't impact the mail clients size too much. The HTML viewer, now *that's* bloatware. And the built-in imageviewer! But support for customizable virtual folders is IMHO not so. Ximian Evolution and VM, for example, has virtual folder support. More about that here: http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/features.html http://www.wonderworks.com/vm/user-manual/vm_15.html > Why not use an archive tool like Mailbag Assistant or some of the > other programs that I have heard are out there? Never heard of the program, but will check it. To send and recieve mails is fine, but quickly retrieve a conversation later on is not a priority within a mail client? Strange conclusion. Once more IMHO of course :). -- Jakob Breivik Grimstveit, [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.grimstveit.net/jakob/ Morvikbotn 341, 5122 Morvik.
