Heh - I have contacted Support directly on this issue, and their response
was basically that you are correct, the banners HAVE to be at the bottom of
every message due to changes in coding some module or whatever.

I agree that it stinks, and my users remind me of it EVERY day.  It's a real
drag.

If enough of us complain, is there a way that this "feature" can be
reinstated so that the bottom banners only appear once?  It really makes for
a horrible UI, and that's saying something, considering that the UI on this
software was pretty bad to start with.  If I had known about this, I
probably wouldn't have purchased the software in the first place, since I
get SO many complaints about it.  Seems like lazy coding to me.

Would also be nice to be able to click on a subject line in the digest and
be taken directly to the conversation in the archive, but that is a separate
topic.
