Why owl?

Why use owl instead of another zephyr client?

  1. Owl allows you to ``thread'' zephyr conversations and read them one thread at a time. This is convenient if you return from a lunch break to hundreds of zephyrs in owl.
  2. Owl is configurable in perl
  3. Owl is popular! More of your friends can help you learn to use it
  4. Owl provides easy logging and filtering of messages
  5. Owl can be run within screen and then accessed from any computer
