Isn't it grand?  Forget using it as a tool to participate in mailing lists.

It's actually a database pretending to be an e-mail client.  To be fair 
it does have it's good points in terms of workflow stuff but as an 
e-mail client it's a dismal failure.  I'm pretty sure this is mostly the 
client's fault rather than an inherent problem with Domino server... but 
I could be wrong

No... and I don't think you will find one 8^).  On the wonderful system 
that we have at work the admins have even disabled the "agents" that 
would let me do things like automatic mail sorting of all the automated 
emails I get from various machines around the place.  When I quizzed 
them on this I was told that it was too much load on the server if it's 
enabled.  We have 2 Notes servers, they are at least dual P4/1.something 
G machines with at least 1G of RAM each and server about 600 staff on a 
busy day...

All I can say is SUCKED IN !!  and welcome to the club.  Greg's 
suggestions are a bit extreme but quite tempting on occasion.

Cheers,
Michael
