Hi Paul,

I suspected that my email would be received in a negative spirit. That=E2=
=80=99s
really not how it was intended.

I haven=E2=80=99t taken any serious look into SquirrelMail or its templatin=
g
capabilities. But I don=E2=80=99t really think =E2=80=9Ctemplating=E2=80=9D=
 is what the problem is.
Its more fundamental than that.

I'm not looking for a cute new "skin". I can't be the only one who sees a
significant functionally disparity between SquirrelMail and Gmail or
Outlook.com?

I suspect the response will be =E2=80=9C*then use Gmail if I love it so muc=
h*=E2=80=9D but
that=E2=80=99s not really the point is it?  The question I am asking is doe=
s SM
*intend* to compete in this space? If not then fine. But if so then what=E2=
=80=99s
it doing to address the glaring gap?

This was intended as constructive critique. Or we can just put our heads in
the sand and pretend everything is OK and that we can=E2=80=99t imagine why=
 anyone
wouldn=E2=80=99t want to use anything other than Alpine anyway (oh, and BTW=
, I *do*
use Alpine too).

Best regards,
Solid Iron
