I just took a look, several days later, and there are no postings there.
So this does not seem to be the forum of choice, does it. I wonder why not?
Part of the reason is responsiveness. These "media rich"
environments don't help me to understand or write text better. But
they do take tens of seconds to get into -- whereas my Eudora mail is
right there on the desktop.
And now I encounter another problem -- I'm asked for a password.
Which of by 27367 web passwords would you like? I gave up and
decided to use this mailer instead ;-) And I find that I made
several spelling mistakes, that Eudora highlights for me, but the web
interface did not.
