Simon can be a bit of a dick sometimes, IMNSHO.  :)

The wm (Windows itself) is defaulted to cascade.  Which is just damned
sloppy.  I don't believe a third party app should be required to shim
between the app and the wm.  I respectfully disagree with Simon's
viewpoint.  I can see he's taking the mutt approach...which is fine to a
point, but even they conceded to pop3 and imap support.

BTW...I had 0.60 here, and just put in 0.61.  It -is- faster on ssh 2
negotiation.  Substantially.  Not that I use it for more than ssh tunnels
anymore...
