Hi Gary,

I installed Mozilla Thunderbird just to check it out. I was surprised
that the inbox doesn't even show who the e-mails are sent TO (no To:
column). This is a big drawback. Is there a better version? This
version really compare to The Bat, but has a very nice interface.

I agree; Better if everyone else uses OE!
