  This is an excellent idea Daron, maybe a cut down version for 
  non-beta testers would show people that progress is being made to 
  eradicate bugs that show up and it would also allow users to see
  if a bug is known about before posting a "i've found this bug".

     Ah ha , nice to see these two squashed (or at least known about)

      ^^^^^^^^^ROTFL how long did it take to think this lot up :-)

     My suggestions are : when the Daily Net window is opened allow 
     the Esc key to close it again just like you can do when you are 
     reading a particular newsgroup.
     
     Specifiy more than one pop number so if one pop is busy the next one
      on the list is used.
     
     When collecting e-mail can we see who its from instead of who its 
     for ( cos i already know its for me).
     
     Why can't we move the windows about in ICE , why are they fixed 
     in one area?
     
     Bugs: when expire mail in post box (marked items) is used gives 
     two bombs and back to desktop but mail has been correctly deleted
     when oasis is started again.
     
     Automatic unbatch gives two bombs sometimes ( dodgy header 
     maybe?).
     
     Why does the redialer issue two ATZ's before dialing ( giving redial 2,4,6,8 etc)
     
     
     
     Right that's my thoughts out of the way , anybody else want a go?
