ProLine



I would like to enter a general comment here.  I have had accounts on several
national systems, GEnie, Compuserve and AOL, and have never before found a
mail system that is as easy to use as the one that is found in Proline.  It
is easy to include items from mail or other text files and is just plain nice
to use.  I can't seem to get enough of it so I send mail to myself just so I
can play with it.  I am quickly becoming addicted to this program.  So
addicted in fact that my wife is already threatening to divorce me again.

[ My reply to Greg: There are mixed feelings among users of ProLines.
Those who are used to next-to-nothing (as far as features on commercial
information services) are overwhelmed by the power of ProLine.  They say
it is too complex to use.  Those who are annoyed by the lack of features
on commercial systems find ProLine to be a haven.  I fall into the
latter group.

To me, NOT being able to include (quote) messages I'm replying to, or
pull a file from my "workspace" into a letter, or just view a text file
while I'm composing a letter is very frustrating.  The lack of mail
composition tools that abounds on most systems is like having a word
processor that lets you enter text, but doesn't offer word wrap, tab
setting, search and replace or spell checking.  Sure, you can write
letters without those features, but its very frustrating.  Most users
can understand that line of thinking when you're talking about a word
processor, but a sufficiently equipped e-mail program is daunting until
they realize what they've been missing on other systems.  --Morgan ]
