Some MUAs can be configured to work in this manner (evolution), but I don't think that we want to force MUA choice and configuration of the MUA as part of stateless. IMHO if we force this kind of user visible change as part of stateless, then we're ultimately going to fail for all the usage scenarios except clusters. Stateless shouldn't be something that affects the user's experience. > > Hm, I'd have to double check our setup.

That wasn't my experience a few years ago, but it's possible the default configuration has changed. Waiting on final delivery seems pretty reasonable, configuration-wise, for a laptop/workstation. jeff
