Speaking of FireFox... I must have been in the dark. I just installed it
today along with Thunderbird and after 5 minutes fell in love. Will use
them both as defaults. However the one thing I can't figure out in
Thunderbird is with ngs and how to "Show replies to my messages" only? As
far as .Net and IE, it does not bother me that framework would be required.
If you had to fall back to winforms and smart client, you would need it
anyway. So in my case, it would just be a requirement of the web service
just as if it had been a winforms app. Anyway... Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good night! :-)
