First off, I don't think it was proposed to change the core SQ interface to flash. I think it was more of an idea tossed out there asking how it might be done and what people thought about the idea. It does bring up a bigger question about SQ though: possible UI improvements. I can think of a few that would make me a much happier camper. 1.) DHTML threading of messages (god this would make my life easier) 2.) Icons! 3.) Javascript keyboard shortcuts (ie. ALT+S = send) The list goes on. I think SQ mail is a great simple and easy to use interface for most people, however it lacks some features that make it truly usable for the power user. --Joe On Wednesday, July 16, 2003, at 08:25 AM, Rob Siemborski wrote: > On Tue, 15 Jul 2003, Andrew McGlone wrote: > >> If you would be a little more literal in your objections I would love >> to >> discuss.
