Please, please, please, _always_ keep questions on the listserver. It lets other
knowledgeable people answer, it gives you faster and more answers, and it gets
the answers in the list archives for future people.

2.2 looks very similar to 2.0. 2.3 is a vastly different look.

2.2 disallows groups like this in the contacts, since it simply wasn't designed
to handle it. I don't know if you consider this "fixed", but it prevents the
problem. 2.3 will use Turba for a contact manager, which will solve this.

2.3 has a much-improved spell checker.

No; see many recent messages; this doesn't belong in IMP, though some people
have contributed code (again, see recent list messages) to do this.

Uh, details? That's not a very helpful problem report...
