None of the responses mentioned ml, which I've been fairly happy
with for a couple of years now.  It does have a couple of irritating
implementation decisions; but so far, the model seems to fit my usage
pretty well.

Note, however, that development of ml stopped when, or soon after, the
author joined Netscape...  (In many ways, I still prefer the ml model
over the Netscape model; although Messanger does have a few superior
features, and it looks a lot nicer...)
