What's NOT to like?  I am still totally impressed how your simple  
recommendation (is it 2 years ago now?) steered me off my then  
chiselled-in-stone decision to stick with a Windows-based Apoint  
or Winpoint.  OpenXP's text based system is truly ideal for  
messaging.

Ah.. excellent.  For the most part, messages are pretty short so  
a search for anything hasn't been necessary.  But I can see it  
handy when reading a long multiple-screen newsletter.  Searching  
backwards in the same message for the same string is a fine  
convenience.
