Group Messages by Thread in Mac OS X Mail

Thursday May 13, 2004
One of the more interesting discussions in history took place between Galilei and other proponents of "modern" science on the one side and classic Aristotelians on the other. What was at stake? Those with the new, eventually revolutionary ideas were looking for certain knowledge and claimed that it doesn't matter what happens inside the things as long as we can describe the phenomena exactly. Whatever causes weight, for example, the important -- and the only -- point is that we can compare (measure) it. "Fine," said the Aristotelians, "but that doesn't help you find out anything about weight and its true cause." -- "All right," the modernists gave in, "but have you ever found out anything about weight?"
The people of the 16th century did not have email. But I'm sure they would have used threading in Mac OS X Mail to keep track of their disputes.
Don't get lost in a crowded inbox. Here's how Mac OS X Mail can make it easy to follow discussions by displaying messages that belong together in a logical order.

Digsby is a free program which combines IM, Email, and Social Networking into one. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it’s really good. I’m running 3 IM accounts, facebook, myspace, and 2 gmail accounts on it and everything works. I’m honestly impressed so far.

Check it out and download it here: http://www.lan5.net/digsby.html

I do have a one problem with it though. I can’t figure out how to put links into my profile. It’s not that big of a deal though.

What do you think, is Digsby better than Trillian and those other communication programs?
