  1. OSX 10.4: platform not supported... by curious.corn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... so long for cross platform compatibility. Had it been SWT based I'd be more forgiving but supposedly it's swing based. Ok, so what was so un-java to require a compiled .so for it? Attachments? Mime helper associations? crypto? S-I-G-H, repeat after me: "Java is not .NET"! I'm still waiting for an email client that manages IMAP ACLs... (and evolution is the only one that does LDAP directory editing... grr!) I was curious to see if this java MUA did but (sigh), I'm a poor soul on a Mac, in a java-cross-platform-except-for-anything-but-M$-Lin ux... go figure...
