In all of the email clients I have ever chosen to use not a single one exhibits the behavior you describe. Pine, elm, mutt, PMMail/2, PMMail2000, TheBat, Sylpheed-Claws, Thunderbird just to name most. Pretty much the only culprit is Lookout! Is that surprising given that it is a Microsoft product and their modus operandi is to break standards since they know the ignorant masses of their typical user will think it is the other people who are broken? -- Steve C.
