Sorry if it sounded like that, i was just bringing our end users point
of view. I agree that only because a user complains he's not right, if i
didn't believe that, we would have rolled back a lot of users this week,
because they liked the traditional version of Horde 3! But i also
understand that some things are really annoying to them, because they
were used to have a feature, and now they don't have it anymore.

Ok, i respect you opinion, although i have to remember that the other
email clients out there call it "Forward"
