It appears that this is fixed... at least I had no trouble finding in
subfolders down about 4 levels.

This appears to be fixed... yeah!

Doesn't seem like this was done.

Not implemented that I could see.

Doesn't look like this was done either.

None that I could see.

There's none that I could find in the edit message window, but there is
in the read message window, just press ctrl-f

nope, no buttons for find.

>F10:

nope

Don't think so, although I don't know for sure since I don't have any
HTML messages to try, but the web page does still say "with Netscape or
another browser" or something to that effect.

>F12:

Doesn't appear to be other dictionaries.

>F14:

Nope, still need to use the WPS/Filemanager to do it.

>F15:

>WPS.

Nope.

>F17:

Nope.

This one is there, and another thing they did was when you have an
email address hilited, it only gives the options that pertain... so you
no longer see "browse" option when you have something other than a URL
hilited.

Nope.

Nope

Nope.

seems to me to be a little more responsive when loading large folders.

Nope.

Nope, still 3600.

Nope.

Nope
