Probably my prime reason to dislike Pegasus is on philosophical grounds. The guy who writes it is an old school Cathedral developer. He doesn't think Open Source development produces decent code. To quote, "To me it is an unproven concept, with the obvious potential to produce low-quality applications - this is not to demean existing open source initiatives, many of which are quite good; it's merely an observation about team programming in general...". From: http://www.pmail.com/sundry/pmlinux.htm Of course this page is 4 years old. Perhaps he is wiser now. Thunderbird is good. Not as many features as others though. It's getting better all the time. Regards On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 08:38, Mark Grimshaw wrote:
My, there's an awful lot of noise on WLUG these days so I thought I'd join the general stampede before it's clamped down on.
Re. Outlook/OE, it's some time since I've used them (so perhaps they've improved) but I've never understood why windows users (and yes, I happily use W2K in addition to Linux) don't use the superior Pegasus email client.
It's completely FREE; trusted and used worldwide (very common in UK academic institutions) and for those in New Zealand who like to support homegrown products, is 100% NZ-developed software (from Dunedin).
