This got sent to Michael instead of the list. So I'm forwarding it.
<sigh>
I recently switched from MH to a more "normal" IMAP configuration.
Apparently Thunderbird ignores the Reply-To: header, at least by
default. One more thing to track down and fix. :-(

I don't. I have heard that in the Ubuntu world something considered
important today can disappear tomorrow. Is this a problem? Yes,
especially if there is a high learning curve to the software program.
Specifically, I have heard that there are some photo management
applications and such that were mainline for a while and then
arbitrarily trashed and replaced with something completely different.
For this reason, I stay away from Ubuntu. I prefer Slackware, Debian,
or a Redhat variant to Ubuntu. Ubuntu just doesn't seem stable to me.
Ubuntu seems like an okay choice if you don't upgrade, but everyone
should upgrade and install, ahem, security fixes. Am I being
reasonable in my opinion of Ubuntu or not? Have things changed for
the better and I just don't realize it?
Just because something's not installed by default doesn't mean much. If
an application is still being maintained you can either find it and
install it from the repo, or you can find a .deb file somewhere else.
Just because they change their default applications is a poor excuse for
not using a particular distro.
Over the years I've used Slackware, Mandriva, Mint, Suse and Redhat. I
currently use Ubuntu and it's an endless source of frustration. BUT, I
use it for one very important reason - because they have their "Long
Term Support" releases, which means I only have to go through the pain
of upgrading once every 5 years. I got really tired of the "upgrade
every 18 months" that the others put me through.
