Yes you are right. I also don't like Outlook Express header, but I don't care if the others don't care, especially that those who use Windows don't care and use the same headers, because they also top-post.

I can probably do all that stuff, but I haven't looked into it since I haven't needed it.If I wanted/need it I would get a client with it.In Outlook Express I can search after the from, to, subject, message body, in the current folder with messages only or in its subfolders, search from a starting date until an end date, in the messages that have attachments or not, and maybe other less useful criteria.I can grep which is a lot more powerful. I could put together scripts... Outlook isn't that great...grep 'basic apps' -i -n sentfile I think that is the right switch for ignore case...See? I might also forget the right switches for the features I want to use, and that's why I like a mail client like Outlook Express. It doesn't require to remember anything.If I used that regulary I would remember and its right...
