Yeah. You can use it from a console to write your mails, and if you
have an active framebuffer you can always take links-g from the AUR,
which is like having a graphical web browser.
Well, there's always mutt, if you prefer a mail client ;)

Shouldn't you use Option "LeftAlt" "ModeMeta"? (Didn't check, though.)
I mean, you should assign a value to the left key, not the right one :)

I understand, that's a whole lot of things :)
For a moment I forgot that you have three (four including
<spelling_warning>switzerdutch</spelling_warning>) national languages,
and I'm noticing now that it must be a great mess with keyboards :)

Oh, how nice... What if you write a report that way and try to send
