I have quite a few folders with different versions of
OWB. Guess I need to keep it in one folder from now on.
I simply keep my current version of OWB in "fu:bar/OWB".
When Fab releases a new version, I rename this drawer (in list view, so as not to rename the drawer icon also) to OWB.old.1.10 (or whatever the version).
I then rename the folder of the new version from OWB-rc_1.11 (or whatever the default name is) to OWB, thus preserving all path preferences.
This approach also makes it easy to compare different releases if something goes wrong (is it a bug in the new version, or have I changed some settings inadvertantly?).

PS - on the original topic, in the short term would it be easier to develop a mail client which dynamically generates html pages as a GUI (similar to the MLDonkey web interface).
