Right, i've heard good things about claws.  I've recently migrated from 
windoze where I used t'bird.  Getting my windows mail archives, filters 
etc transferred was easy enough, but I would want all that to come along 
if I were to use another client.  I'll probably stick with t'bird unless 
there is a *very* compelling reason to switch.

Thanks again.
