Other than security problems, what's the advantage of javascript in email? :-k

As I recall, he was creating animated HTML messages, which require some JavaScript for the control.
I wouldn't be surprised if Postbox 1.1.x doesn't support it either any more as it's on the 1.9.1 branch.

I installed Postbox on a spare PC and I have to say I was pretty disappointed in the UI too.

Postbox 2 was released. I still don't see why I should ditch Thunderbird over this.

You shouldn't. PostBox originally said it would be free, than after a few beta's forgot they said that and made it a pay for app. Stick with Thunderbird.

E-mail seems to be good competitors. I use the shredder 3.0b2 now installedd mailbox for testing. All goes well, it seems very good. If they are allowed to use the Thunderbird mail about a very attractive add-on products.

Er, why are you using a beta text version of an out of date version of Thunderbird? We're up to version 3.1.9 at this point...

I'm thinking you are really a spammer, but I have no proof yet. If you keep making inane posts just to get your post count up to add a sig link, well, we are very good a thwarting you...
