   I don't see any reason to have the Email as a message base, because its not a    
   message base in the normal sense. Its private email. Its worked perfectly fine   
   since inception. Internally the code for email is a bit more elaborate in how    
   it handles flags and attributes. Hopefully Nuclear left all of that alone.   
      
   The one thing I'd like to get around to fixing is AKA matching when replying    
   to Netmail's. I don't like choosing from a "list" of addresses. It looks   
   a bit hokey and has been a long-time problem.   
      
   Lightbars... meh... thats a matter of taste I guess. But nothing does    
   lightbars as good as Searchlight.   
      
   Why was the file upload code even touched? It was working perfectly fine?   
      
   TM> Anyways .... yeah I think we're stuck on mine and yours setup.   So from my   
   TM> end, you should already have what you need and there won't be crazy changes   
   TM> coming from here.  So click away on 2 versions ... ;)   
      
   LOL click away. We need mouse support in RG now? :)
