Good work, Tim. One thing that disturbs me a bit is the sudden interruption 
of the mouldings on the right of the tower, lower half. It should integrate 
harmoniously with the body of the building, imho. To the left, with the 
indent, it mattters less, although the effect is the same.

Nice. Someone's boarded up all the windows!

I have seen such abrupt stoppings on real buildings. In fact, I've seen worst, 
like the molding brutaly starting and stoping somewhere across the wall, without 
starting at the edge of any roof, and totaly uncentered.

Yeah, I think you're right. I based this on some photos of a RL
building, and looking at them the cornice wraps around the inner
corners a bit. Mostly I wanted to try out wings on something big...

Well, you certainly succeeded :-)
It is one of those things I never found time to try out somehow. You are 
giving me some ideas...

Unfortunately, Thunderbird is showing this message as a reply to a 
thread from 2000.

Does someone know how to make it thread replies by message ID, and not 
by topic name?

Okay, this is only safe if you like editing the user.js file. There are
two seperate issues with how T-bird threads. One is that it puts
everything with Re: <title> as a reply to the earliest thread named
<title>. The other is that it ignores references. So, add the following
to your 'user.js' file. Normal path to that file is C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<random
letters and numbers>.default\user.js on windows.


# Stop threading messages together if they simply have the same subject
# (none of the messages start with "Re:")
user_pref("mail.thread_without_re", false);
# Only thread by reference headers, ignore subject
user_pref("mail.strict_threading", true);

Got that info from a thunderbird wiki that I forgot to bookmark, so I
can't quote the source and google isn't being helpful in tracking it down.
