I don't have email. I have Usenet.

Thunderbird is a very good email client, to be honest.  It lacks some vital features, like email bouncing, and forget getting on Usenet.  But right now, it's lacking a few things and has some bad choices.  It uses mailbox-style (all mail in one file) instead of maildir (one mail per file).  There's no bounce command (although there's an extention, and they're slowly integrating it).  And there's no "remove this email after x days in this folder" feature.

Maildir is basically how C-News used to store Usenet feeds.  Removing emails after X days is basically the same as expiring an article.  And boucing emails is a client side issue, although it can be at the server side in some cases.

I should make a news client.

Scott Kurtz is getting Thin Slice, a web design group, to go over PvP.  He posted this:
Thin Slice is working with me to not only update our code and give the site a fresh look, but to add functionality and interactivity. The archive system is going to be transformed using "tags".
If you're on Comic Genesis, you get it already.  If you're not, take a look at my site, and imagine the navigation buttons, the comic, the advertisement, the calendar, and dropdown navigation as "tags".  More specifically, ***keentags***. 

Yep, Scott's going to be turned to the dark side.
