Slightly off topic. Here's an interesting quote from a respected
scientific web site ;-)

"...a hobby which demands a large investment of time and money, and you
get a fanboy. They defend their favourite stuff and ridicule the
competition, ignoring facts if they contradict their emotional connection."

You're a few days late.

What's with the fiddling of the subject header?

If you are capable of contributing something useful, please do.

I use Seamonkey Mail & Newsgroups, based Thunderbird 2. I can
right-click on a message and select Tag -> some tag.

There is also a View list where I can filter by tags.

Probably Thunderbird also has this feature in v3.

All of mine are the best. :) But seriously, it's been done to
death. All you need to know is that it uses get/removeAttribute in an
unshielded manner. In other words, the code assumes that those
methods have consistent interfaces in all major browsers in use
today. Of course, they do not (as we've been over about a million
times). They aren't even consistent in an IE8-only environment,
unless you can turn off its Compatibility View.

For some demonstrations of this (among other maladies), see the
results of their silly query engines here:-

Wouldn't bank on those things if I were you. ;) Too bad jQuery,
Dojo, etc. bet the farm on them.
