This battle has been going around forever. Those who were not familiar with Mail's "preserve" idea liked what Mush did, but those who wanted strict backwards compatibility raised a fuss.

Having backwards compatibility won out. -- dan ---------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com Opinions expressed reflect those of the author only.
