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...) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
