I would like if you tell me exactly how Pronto did not handle MIME too well or put out too many internal errors to be safe, afaik, it handles MIME pretty well - there was a problem with forwrarded messages that came from yahoo attached, that has been fixed. Internal errors - dunno about any, I am the guy to talk to if you think that my client is close but has stuff to make it lesss perfect, the current CVS version sometimes make coffee!
