No. First of all, that assumes I had foreknowledge that you had already tried the google-groups interface. Have you? Secondly telling you that a different tool moots an issue you're having, has nothing to do with discounting your preferences. Lastly, preferences change. That's what happened to me. While, I still miss some things about my KMail client, the benefits of the web interface out-weight the loss. So I'm not dissing you. I'm just offering up an possible alternative. You seem to be a bit upset because so many people have disagreed with you. Yes? I know that feeling. Often times however I eventually discover there is a fair reason for it. I wouldn't be surprised if your MUA has a means of doing what you want in a different way --you just haven't discovered it yet. (Hmmm.. maybe I missed it... What MUA was it, btw?) T.
