wow, that is a good point.  That sounds really stupid.  I am a big fan of 
KDE, and prefer it to GNOME (today anyway).  I am looking for a good email 
client that can work more like Eudora (the only reason I still use that 
other OS, well and for work). I really like the filtering and message 
handling in Eudora, but the only thing that comes close that I have found 
for any Unix is Netscrape and that is just too unreliable.  I have tried, 
and love mutt, but the filtering has to be done by another program, usually 
procmail, which in my opinion sucks.  It is too difficult to do simple 
things and takes too long to create the filters.  I have literally 91 
folders and over 150 filters (I am on way too many mailing lists).   I want 
something I can easily create and maintain my filters and mailboxes 
with.  One thing I really miss from Mutt is the threading and "jump to next 
_unread_ message", not to mention complete independence from the mouse.

MadHat, still looking for a full featured, reliable mail client for Unix 
that does everything I want the way I want them done.  Not that I am asking 
for a lot [[|%^)
