in which respect?

It's mandatory featuritis, for a start. I absolutely LOATHE threaded
interfaces, because they make it hell to glance at new messages, and
later respond to the new ones when time permits. Just stepping back
(or forward from the last place) is so much easier. Using tags is a
pain.

It claims that it is displaying in black on white, but actually is
mainly royal blue and a hard-toread grey for my responses.

And its handling of long lines is seriously broken.
