Come on, John. You know you know you will never finish this project; it will
never be complete. This has gone on for about 6 years now, and the end never
gets any closer. Instead, new email clients and versions evolve and you
start new branches to add them. The end gets further and further away. Then
FMP comes out with a new version and you start all over again.

Why don't you restrict yourself to just Mail (which spawns a new version
with every new Mac OS), Entourage, and the final version of Eudora (just
because that's where you started, otherwise scrap that too since it's
end-of-lifed, dead, dead, dead) for just the two most recent versions of FMP
and finish the damn thing. Stop all your other interests and stick with it
'til you're done.

Or just end it now.
