<p>I really like Thunderbird&#39;s method of flagging suspicious looking emails, but surely it should ignore messages in my &#39;Sent&#39; folder?</p><p><img src="/images/23.jpg" width="368" height="74" alt="Screenshot of Thunderbird&#8217;s email scam notification thing" style="" /></p>

<p><a href="http://www.456bereastreet.com/">456 Berea Street</a> have posted the results of their recent survey <a href="http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200704/poll_results_504_of_respondents_maximise_windows/">&quot;do you maximise your web browser window?&quot;</a></p><p>Obviously screen resolution plays a big part in this. At work (where I have a dual screen 1280x1024 setup) my browser windows will always be maximised. Whereas at home (where I run in 1920x1200), maximised browser windows look ridiculous.</p><p>I can&#39;t help but throw in a quick moan about current operating systems here. It may be a few years now since I stopped using RISC OS, but the window management system is one of the things I miss most from it. In Windows, giving a window focus makes it immediately jump to the front of the stack, which makes it difficult to use multiple windows at once without craftily resizing them so they don&#39;t overlap. In RISC OS, windows only jump to the front of the stack when you click on the title bar. You can type into/resize/move windows around regardless of whether they&#39;re partially obscured by something else. This makes it much easier to work with multiple windows at once, e.g. to type some code into a maximised text editor window whilst referring to a list in a smaller window you have open.</p>

<p>Ritlabs today released The Bat! version 3.0, much to the surprise of most of the userbase. This comes only a year after the release of version 2.0, which we had to wait about 4 years ago. The problem here is that v3.0 is a chargeable upgrade, but doesn&#39;t appear to add much in the way of new functionality.</p>
