Hi Dev´s,

not beeing doing any active development on imp, my opinion is rather
"informative" than direction-giving in this discussion.

we are running imp to allow appx. 750 employees to check their
company-internal mail from anywhere they are working. as we are an
airline, we have stewardesses with specific needs (bigger buttons for
ease mouse-handling (sic!), simple UI and so on...) and we have
system(=aircraft/airbus) specialists (mostly pilots) who are looking for
the latest possibilities using this webmail-solution.

ive looked at atifs (fantastic) 3-frame-imp and where enthusiastic to
see this as an integrated, configurable part of imp.
as some of our users needs a simpler interface imp (2.2) currently has
(only to:, subject:, and body: would be sufficient - no need for
attachs, bcc and so on....) many, many of our users would instantly
switch to this 3-frame-style.

what i want to say is: let it be (more) configurable, but, please,
import this 3-pan style.... let the user decide !
