- Edwin,
-
- While I agree with what you are saying I would suggest that a *lot* of
- people are attempting to use the v2.4dev version(s) to see if it can fix
- the several bugs/shortcomings in 2.3PL11 (hmmmm, x.400 address handling
- immediately comes to mind).
-
- I have been *eternally* grateful for the elm development team for giving
- us such a fine mail front end, but hey, the delivery date for 2.4 has
- slipped by well over a year and it continues to go backwards.
-
- I can't wait. Our site will be moving to Pine (the "son of elm" ?? :-)
- real_soon_now. The real clincher is the support of MIME/IMAP which is
- a big win,
