now what is "the scriber" doing to fix these issues :) |
Nick Schirmer 11/09/2006 9:30pm | From the link:
Pros * Scribe is small, fast and elegant * Offers flexible message templates, effective Bayesian spam filtering * Plug-ins are available to expand Scribe's functionality Cons * Free i.Scribe lacks filters and supports only one email account * IMAP is not fully implemented in Scribe, and the message editor lacks power * Scribe doesn't support secure email by OpenPGP or S/MIME natively As a very happy Scribe user, I agree with their pro's completely. However, I disagree with their cons: #1 is on purpose - shareware has always had limitations. Not a Con in my book. #2.a IMAP - I admit I've never tried it. #2.b This is WHY I picked scribe. I didn't want an HTML wizard message editor. The reason Scribe is fast and small is the fact they don't bloat it with lots of frilly features. (And being able to have a <BLINK> tag in my email is not on my priority list) #3 SSL is becoming standard in coming versions. Is Scribe perfect? No. But name a perfect app. About the only "con" I would add is I wish ASpell was built in. But the Plug-In function is fine for me. Fret - Keep up the good work. Nick Schirmer |
