Has anyone tried WebDesign for Mac OS X? http://www.ragesw.com/webdesign/ If so, what do you think? -tony

I've been wondering the same thing. I read my email on a UNIX machine, so I've never really cared before. But I'm setting up an email account for my wife, and she'll want to use the Mac. She doesn't need a lot of extra features, just something that works, and is easy to use. So, what do...
