Justa personal opinion: I am not religious about Linux replacing
Windows on desktop, I just want it to work and interoperate with other
computers. This is done *best* by being 100% compliant with standards.
The problem here is not with balsa, it is with Compuserve, and this is
where the problem should be fixed, IMO. Compuserve may be big, but it
is still dependent on its customers (easy to say, I am not one of
them). I would rather fix real balsa problems that cause problems for
80% of the users, than problems that affect, say, 1%.
Just my 0.02zlp.
