Being able to search mail bodies is great, I think the upas/fs filesystem might actually handle that better than "Spotlight" and be at least as good as mutt for that. My current inbox has over 1000 emails, and that's just this past month... I don't actually ever delete any of it. You might ask why, but it's because I'm the only one who can seem to find "that document I sent you a few months back" etc. And yes, sadly, I get a LOT of HTML email. That's probably the #1 pain in the ass where I work. Being able to integrate with some kind of address book in Acme Mail would be another good step towards integrating my email flow. I also have calendaring apps tied into my email and everyone uses those iCal/Outlook compatible attachments to schedule meetings, which even on my mac I often have to open in Emacs or TextEdit to figure out when the meeting is set. (depending on how they address the email/invitation). Dave
