Just have a look in this mailing list archive, as i've already suggested
to you, and you'll find this famous document, whose correct english name
is netethic, and that supposed to be part of the minimal culture of any
linux user. You'll also learn that removing Netscape from main
distribution is a top level priority, not for its ability to send HTML
mails, but for it being not free software (supposing that you know what
free software is).
You never attacked anyone in particular, but you're getting on
everyone's nerves with arrogant statements (go buy a satellite
connexion, wake up and use HTML, etc...), pretentious title (everybody
has a PHD now, even me :-) ), and ridiculously mail use incompetence,
that i'm very surprised nobody flamed you already. And the worst is that
you don't even seem to take care of what patient people try to explain
you.
Freedom of choice doesn't means freedom of imposing them to others.

It is not mandrake-newbie list here, it's cooker : a list for debugging
next Mandrake's distribution. So it is expected people coming here know
the very base of linux culture.
