I do, thank you, but only when I need it to transfer non-ASCII file types. It's fine for private email, though it does introduce security risks for many users, but it's still a bad idea for mailing lists. Many modern lists have scrubbers that remove all MIME attachments for that reason. > >People using webmailers like gmail.com don't even have a choice how >their mail gets assembled.

I don't use it, as Second, I am using this system until it dies. Then I'll have to find a different place to deal with email. Until that happens, I have no way of knowing which mailers will be available to me wherever I end up. If I switch interfaces, it will have to wait until then because I see no point in doing it twice. In any case, there is no need for threading in OR-TALK, and the character set should still be ASCII. >I prefer graphical user interfaces, but purists like you have fun with >it and it is up-to-date software.
