Sorry if I sounded overly harsh! > You protested when the GUI was invented, didn't you? ; ) Well, GUIs can be good for certain tasks, but the current trend of using them for everything is a very bad one, in my view! They are so much slower than just typing for a lot of things ... and you have to think all the time about what you're doing with the mouse, rather than the actual task in hand ... Good for painting pictures or playing games ... bad for reading and writing email though :) Obviously, I like features like visible threading and so on - but the most important thing to me is rapid navigation and commands - using the keyboard. I have yet to see a browser-based system that allows that to happen. Anyway, FWIW, I think the xfree86 list is fine for the purpose at the moment.
