That certainly however is one feature that many non-pine users claim that pine does not have though (proving they've never actually _looked_). Feel free to suggest other features that pine doesn't have, that it does actually have if you like. There's usually a list of about 6-7 features that it doesn't have, but it does. Threading just seems to be the most recurrent FUD claim. <grin> -- Mike A.
