Might be a setting somewhere?

Say I am selecting the start of line 10... if I am too far to the left it
selects from the very top of the post. Have to position my mouse very
carefully before the text.

Do a search and click "save" -- I have a lot of these, with rules such as
contains word Snit, is unread, is not from Snit, is not in such-and-such
threads, etc. 

But Opera handles this reasonably well. I like to be able to have them in
their own floating windows which it does not allow (that I saw) but hardly a
deal-breaker. It does show a count of messages in the search. That is fine.

I prefer the colors... helps to keep track. DOES have them in reading, just
not replying.

Similar to what I am used to and does work well.

Sounds like a saved search. And it allows for looking at headers my current
one does not. That would be a BIG advantage to what I have.

Mine does not handle the replies... so it clearly had benefits I would use,
but is quirky enough I doubt I will move to it. Will certainly give it a
shot -- like it more, I think, than I did Thunderbird.

Even if I do not move to it thanks for pointing me to it.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
