application, which would be a nice project/wish list thing It would
also force most, if not all the Business Logic out of mail cgi and

Saying that, I want to leave open the possibility to use Dada Mail
has a ground to experiment with any kinds of tricks and new methods
of web apps, web design, what have you I do think that good design
in these areas does involve making sure that the lowest common
denominator of environments still has at least a similar
functionality to the FlavorOfTheMonth method

I agree that it would be nice to support cutting edge technologies and degrade gracefully too I appreciate that Gmail and Google maps do this I use Konqueror whenever I can now, and Google doesn't fully support it for those apps, but it still works to some degree in a coherent way, which I appreciate

Just supporting the lowest common demoninator would be no fun
