A trial of FidoLook

I don't expect a reply but I think this copy of my exchange with
David Lippman might be of some use to the authors of FidoLook.

My normal practice on newsgroups is to use a munged or obviously 
incorrect e-mail address, so since my previous version of this 
post has not appeared, I guess "use correct e-mail" means "use a 
correct e-mail address". So I will try again.

Hi Dave!

I'm normally very reluctant to use betas but, given the helpful
conversation with you, I decided to try FidoLook. It really does
what you say and as is claimed on the Web Page and I like it!

However, I would suggest to the authors that they spend some
time integrating it into Windows like QuoteFix if they really
want people to try it. I felt myself blind-folded, crossing my
fingers, touching wood, hoping my last backup was good and
trusting in McAfee as I installed FidoLook :-)  It is also
disconcerting to have a button for Help that behaves in a
non-standard fashion and then produces zilch (g)! I even had to
place a shortcut on the desktop myself for the program.

However, I do intend to use FidoLook for a week or two as my
normal entry to Outlook Express.

Thanks again,
