its rather hard to tell some of those colors apart on my monitor.
Sigh, not surprised about gmail, its amazing how many .com's and .org's use it now. I'm not at ALL a fan of how the web client handles a bunch of stuff like replies, & hiding your own messages from yourself. I mostly prefer to use gmail as an imap server w/ thunderbird.
One of the beauties of using email rather than most other locked-in proprietary alternatives that people keep saying should replace it -- each subscriber can pick whichever client they prefer...
