Since I have money invested, I'm not likely to ditch it, even for something free. What I believe you are complaining about is where my word wrap occurs. PMMail has several options, and this message will be reflowed to 72 chars at send. This will probably satisfy your valid complaint. As for your invalid complaint: I worked at Gould in WorldWide Tech support as a hardware support engineer, supporting Gould's real-time OS (MPX-32) as well as their Unix (UTX-32) for five years, ending in 1991 when they were bought by Encore. Living in South Florida, I only had two choices for employment; leave South Florida (and thereby my child, since I, wonder of all wonders, don't have custody), or seek employment at IBM as a dirt bag contractor and work on OS/2. I really enjoyed OS/2 and still have it at home. It's really a shame IBM and Lotus couldn't handle the home market. I love unix and am thrilled to be using it for free now. But the fact is, I can't depend on unix to put food on my table. So I am agnostic as much as possible. Each OS has it's strengths, or it couldn't continue to exist, due to lack of revenue. I think NT sucks almost as bad as the other Microsuk products. But I can't put my head in the sand. I really don't need an arogant diatribe from anyone regarding unix. You couldn't possibly appreciate it any more than I do. Besides, some of these newer mailers have some really cool features, even if your older mailer doesn't support them, such as html formatting. This is way cool. Are you guys throwing stones at it merely because your mailer doesn't support that feature ?? Shame on you. You remind me of senile citizens. Instead of whining about the newest features, you should try to incorporate these into unix programs and do them at least one better.
