I *never* said MultiMail was INFERIOR. Don't go putting words in my
mouth. All I said was "who cares?".

GUI in a Windows "world" is what makes the operating environment so
popular with users. You don't see Outlook Express or Netscape Messenger
in a console mode do you? If the world of BBS'ing 'n Fido want to bring
those users over, you have to have GUI. I admit, my personal preference
is GUI. One of the main reasons I'm still holding on to my Offline
Xpress from (then Mustang Software Inc.) and now Santronics. (who has,
as far as I know, done absolutely nothing to improve on it) What a shame
and waste.
