I do use it. Maybe your screen resolution is smaller than mine? I can read
many messages in the preview pane (at 1280x1024 pixels on 19 inch) without
having to open them at all. It is much quicker this qay to quickly look
for a specific one from a whole list of ones with the same subject. There
still is no threading which makes dealing with a lot of lists a pain.

The only thing that bothers me is that all PGP signed message get alrady
checked in the preview pane and that makes browsing those quickly a pain
(a pane ;-) )  in the a.. .

I'm looking forward to an update.

Jocki
