OK, looking at my server logs, four people looked at it - two with Internet
Explorer in Windows, two with Mozilla in Linux.  You know who you are.  ;-)
 No replies though, so I take it most people reading this are happy with
the software they're using now!

FWIW, I've decided that the user interface needs changing anyway.  The
program will consist of a single window and begin with a list of message
bases.  When you double-click on the message base the window will change to
a message list, where you can double-click on a message and the window will
change again to view the message.  This is no different to how Msged,
GoldED and timEd operate, but you will also have the option of having tabs
at the bottom (or top) of the window to switch between the
arealist/messagelist/message views, similar to "tabbed-browsing"
in Opera and Mozilla.  This should also give you the option of opening
multiple areas and/or multiple messages at once (which isn't possible with
the current UI unless you start two copies of the program).

Anyway, that's the theory.  Getting the interface to work how I want and
actually getting the program to a point where I've got something usable is
another matter entirely.
