The time taken to deal with PITA format e-mails in Pluto is insignificant with the time that would be required to learn to use a different e-mail program properly. Then there would be the time taken to transfer the address book and all the e-mails currently stored. I do use the windows version of Claws Mail on my Netbook, and while I find it less bad than Thunderbird, which I thought awful, I still dislike it because of its inflexibility, and find many of its aspects both rigid and incomprehensible. It cannot import Pluto's address book (does not understand CSV!) and I cannot find a way to get it to import raw e-mails from Pluto either. And the system for setting up filters is totally baffling. -- Russell http://www.russell-hafter-holidays.co.uk Russell Hafter Holidays E-mail to enquiries at our domain Need a hotel?
