VB> [skip about tosser for ZED]
EM>> P.S. So is it worth updating ZED further, or not?
VB> Probably not. Everyone has already attacked Lara. ;)
EM>> How much better is Lara?
VB> It’s not for me to judge, but it’s much better.

VB> 2ALL: Maybe there are other opinions?

You can’t sort and link mail in Lara. And there is no notebook there.
The interface is hellish - a lot of hot buttons and a leaky memory.

In general, Zed appeals to me more. I remember I started to remake it, but
Ignorance of C stopped me.

The main drawback of Lara is that she sits entirely in her memory and occupies her from cover to
cover, which means she won’t get much better. But it would be necessary.

Zed's overlay/library structure makes it possible to wildly tweak it, but
the author will not do this.

Deadlock.

I would use Zed now, but I don't do this, because... his reader shows
the headers of all messages, even deleted ones, and this is very inconvenient.

WBR, Jason.
