- I think the thing I hate the most about this new mail package is that
- before if I had a lot of mail (such as this morning), I could just grab
- a temp disk, use getmail to transfer the mail onto the temp disk from the
- reader, and edit the unread notebook: no fuss, no bother. Now, getmail
- actually goes through the mail process (build an index for the notebook
- and load the mail into the notebook), which means I have to wait for 5
- minutes before I can edit. Sending is harder, too (the default is to
- cancel the send), but confirming the deletions is easier (just press ENTER).
- All-in-all, I want my old mailer back!
