You have obviously never used Lotus Notes in the early '00s then!

Same grade turd, just with a bigger price tag and more consultants than you can shake a shitty stick at.

Ah, Notes; the best UI, bar none. I remember discovering the mail window had NO horizontal scrollbar as I moved the cursor down a line and it skipped to the end of a truly epic set of Received: headers, all on one line, with NO WAY TO GET BACK except holding down the left-cursor key for what felt like an hour...

I later discovered the option to turn the optional horizontal scrollbar back on, in a four level deep menu somewhere. Rage.

I know this is WAY too late to be helpful, but I wonder if hitting the HOME key would have put you back at the start of the line.

Either way, completely unacceptable UI for sure.
