1. Mailwasher versus SaveMyModem [smm]
(a) In Mailwasher when I open an email with URL's, these can be clicked on to QUICKLY go to the default web-browser and page.

(b) The FREE SaveMyModem [smm] is good at displaying a list of all emails [still on the server] on all POP3 accounts...
And it's easy to tick emails for deletion and/or bounce...
And it's easy to open an email and view the text content, BUT...
Once an email has been opened to read the text:

(c) I'm unable to copy the text even though it can be highlighted.
AND...

(d) Clicking on a URL DOESN'T run the default [or any] web-browser, so no ability to [automatically] go to the web-page.
It's necessary to MANUALLY memorize or note the web address and enter it manually, which isn't all that difficult, but it's amazing how easy Mailwasher makes this operation.

2. Skype
(a) Version 4.1 for Windows makes version 2.0 for Linux [the copy I've found at the Puppy forums] look so primitive.
I'll need to look for something more up-to-date than this.
