Yeah, I forgot. Have seen this, too, looks more windows-like (not the
Mozilla 'modern' design), not bad, too.
But with "big", I less meant the binary size of the program, but rather the
on-screen size of things. The toolbar, f.ex., is quite big, and I can do
nothing about it (in Mozilla Mail). I like the OE (and IE) toolbars, because
I can move them to fit altogether in a single line (menu + icons + address).
They contain just the basic functions, the rest is still accessible through
menus or by keyboard shortcuts.
I'd almost call it my no. 1b favourite :) But there are still massive
problems with threaded view, which I mostly need when reading mailing lists
like this. (OK, early pre-release...)
But let's not get too OT here... (or is this an interesting topic for a
debian user list? I don't know)
