Not everyone lives in a cave and uses the pony-express to communicate. Are really most PETSc users and developers complete troglodytes? Note that you can setup mailto links to go to Emacs https://code.google.com/p/plume-lib/source/browse/bin/emacs-mailto-handler?name=v1.0.0 and alpine https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mail.pine/puiLTBBQDBg Satish, I like the mailto: link you have set up and would like it to stay.
