this is probably an object lesson in bad user interface design.

windows hides all those headers that _i_ want to see.  one thing
i did do when i wrote a mail user agent was to order the 'important'
headers so they would always appear in the same order in the file
the message was kept.  if you needed the original message, you could
always pull it out of the audit trail, which had a verbatim copy
of the message.

windows also has two reply modes, when it only needs one.

Hi,

On the serious note of copeing with RSI: Raising
my monitor and chair by 6 inches, and finding a mouse
with buttons that require only a light pressure but
then move a significant amount helped me a great deal.

 the acme-style mouse chording...

what concerns me about the chord interface is that the stress issue
is overlooked. i avoid chord-related RSI by carefully avoiding too much
chording on wily. that slows me down, but avoids a much worse situation.
[i gave up emacs years ago because of left-hand control-stress.]

i also wanted to say earlier that sam is fine the way it is. its
popup menu is nearly as fast as chords, and does not appear to
induce stress.
