After much googling the conclusion is many many people are desperately unhappy about the fonts in tbrd and incredibly, it ain't fixable! Hard-coded font sizes -- isn't that, like, retardn00b mistake #4? :) Another giant, glaring flaw: Doesn't appear to be any addressbook integration whatsoever that I can find, so it's necessary to pretend it's the 80s and remember the ancient practice of clunkily, manually C & P from the *separate* addressbook. Jeeeezus, and people think mutt is barebones, LOL (address autocompletion Just Works in mutt). I've already got a whopper of an eyestrain headache just from testing it. Tbird dismissed, not a realistic option. My users will bitch a blue streak over the lack of address autocomplete, god forbid they should have to type anything longer than "OMGLOL"... -- klaatu virada nicto
