Tanstaafl,

As I say, email client support is subjective.

So, none of the features it has lacked matter to you.  Like the ability to customize visible columns
in the message list, separately for each folder, with a large selection of choices.

And the ability to filter outgoing messages.

Recent Thunderbird Daily versions have repaired those lacks though.  I'm pretty sure that
Thunderbird release version still does not have outgoing message filters.

My complaint about plugins is that they tend to loose support in newer versions, while
plugin authors often aren't interested in updating their product.  Maybe that doesn't happen
as often in release versions.

My reply address can be different depending on the person I am writing to.

But those reply to addresses need not be tied to a specific account.  For instance, I have one
main email address at Fastmail, which is associated with my fastmail account in The Bat setup.
But Fastmail allows a generous supply of aliases.  I can use these aliases in replies to
specific correspondents without The Bat knowing anything else about them other than they
are specified as a return address for certain correspondents.
