I'd like to add:      

- ability to edit Lifeline folder list in mail.  I get real tired of fixing
  my typos with the editor.  

- ability to page in all Lifeline lists, e.g., the list of folders!

- a true name search facility in the address book and white pages displays.
  I can't believe how annoying it is to get to the right page and then have to
  curse (literally) down to the desired name.

- Why not automatically insert all mail addresses used into the address book,
  or at least make it an option?  

- Why do I have to compile the address book and white pages, anyway?  I know
  what this is accomplishing; I just don't see why I have to do it for 
  the software.  

I think that these fixes can be summarized as an 80's Interface for Lifeline.  
While they're at it they should get rid of that commercial for Vitamin C that
you get if you call mail with mail instead of nfsmail.  

And, on the subject of updates, what differences are there between the 
PC-NFS 3.0.1 update and the recent Rev. B of same?  I am guessing that
the sole purpose of this update is to at the notice that Yellow Pages is
a registered trademark of British Telecommunications, etc., but there is
nothing clarifying this in the packet.
