Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, What makes Puppy great is not looks but speed and functionality. To me it is the same with an email client. I think I tried Sylpheed once and did not like it all. It may be a little smaller than Seamonkey but as i recall I don't think it displays html in emails?ttuuxxx wrote:would it really be worth 2MB extra compress, just to say that we are using a more popular but uglier email client, ttuuxxx
It is also nice that the Seamonkey client is integrated into the browser and I can just push a button to open it fast while browsing, and also a pop-up comes up when I am browsing telling me I have a new email without running another program.
The reaction of this puppy user is that I just started using puppy a couple months back and at first I honestly did not like Seamonkey but it has really grown on me and I prefer it now for speed and functionality. IMHO you will get the same reaction from folks that have grown used to having it as part of Puppy.WhoDo wrote: Your point is not lost on me, ttuuxxx. Zigbert could probably find 100 uses for the extra room, too! We'll see what the reaction is after Alpha2 hits the shelves tonight. Sylpheed is certainly much more economical. Like many, I don't know it at all, so I'm going to take the opportunity to play with it while you guys debug Alpha2.
I haven't gotten the iso of Alpha2 to work yet but I will give Sylpheed a chance when I do, and try it out again.
To me it just seems like one of the whole points of using Seamonkey in the first place is to have a suite. From a strictly browser standpoint Firefox and its derivatives ie, firepup, icecat have more functionality when it comes to displaying web content.
