Cricket has always been very helpful on this list. He's been great at answering questions about scripting Mail.

I'll agree with qualifications. The "that's the way it is, so live with it" attitude does creep through from time to time. And personally, I find anonymous posting to public discussion lists suspect. YMMV.

I'm certainly telling you the way it is, but I never implied that I think you should accept it and be happy. Constructive feedback is REALLY helpful and is the reason any of us read the list at all. Mail's additions to 10.2.3 were primarily driven by what was desperately asked for the most on this list (scriptable rules and targeting the message viewer window). What we're doing for the next release is driven by this list, too.

I'm not sure what this anonymous stuff is. I'm not posting anonymously. Not posting my last name shouldn't have any impact on the content of what I'm saying.

I feel entirely justified in bitching, complaining and snarling from time to time. I've got ten years of frustration behind me and sometimes it's worth picking up the 2x4 again.

None of that will get you anywhere. As most people who've read this thread can attest, it was 99% unproductive bickering and 1% productive feedback. Provide feedback. Be polite. Realize that the needs of lots of other projects, people, and priorities are taken into account and what you want specifically may not get the priority that you want it to have.
