Really?...
Yeah, really!  (I thought you said you just liked it.)

I do like it and use it every day - I was questioning the 30-day trial
thingy.

Gravity is wicked configurable...  I'd been using Free Agent for months but
switched to a registered copy of Gravity in February.  Free Agent has much
better and much faster GUI code but Gravity beats it hands-down in overall
geek-useability and filtering.  I haven't tried regular Agent, so maybe I
shouldn't bash Free Agent.  (Plus I swore by Free Agent for so long. :)

Many people swear to use Free Agent forever - I don't like it.

I was one of those people but gave Gravity a try.  Hated Gravity after 2
days and went back to Free Agent.  But then outgrew Free Agent and read the
feature list of Agent online and decided to switch back to Gravity, bite the
bullet, and overcome its learning curve.  I found it well worth the
investment.


In Gravity have you found a way to view messages send in ISO-8859-1?

Not yet, but haven't really looked.


to be
viewed correctly which gets rid of all the equal signs and funny
character codes.  Look at Tobias Möller's posts on RTL - the ö character
is turned into a 15-letter character code - however Netscape handles his
name correctly - it's why I know what his name is.  Is this because I
have turned HTML off in Gravity?

Dunno -- try turning it on and see.  :)


Remember it was me who recommended you to Gravity...

I do!!!  You pushed me to reconsider it -- thanks!
