Not. You were advocating a "product", David. One that has caused both
admins and ML readers (not to mention NGs) more grief than any other
tool on this planet. Have you ever visited the list archive and checked
just how fscked up they are because of missing reference headers?

If you consider talking about your misinformation rude, that's too bad.

XEmacs/Gnus - go figure... But does OE grok Maildir? Thought so...

Acutally, it's a lot less.[1] A *fat* lot.

Is that the Melissa or the ILOVEYOU edition of OE5? And just for the
record:

That kinda amounts to a) IMAP/SSL, b) "grab all idiots from various
mailinglists", c) website, d) local news spool, and e) Maildir. Not to
mention the 5 foreign newsservers in f). The numbers at the beginning of
the lines are "levels". Saying "1 l" leaves me with only my personal
mail, "l 2" is mailing lists... Mail is properly archived in hidden
groups corresponding to the ones I read and write to. Blablabla. What
was your point about Outofluck being technologically advanced again,
darling? And BTW, that's just a couple out of ~40 backends for mail and
news. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, or so they say, David.

Sigged. Damn, you're naive.

If it works for you, great. If you use it as a mail reader, great. Just
don't use it to write to public mailing lists.

Because as long as people like you use MSOE and its likes, it will be
overly difficult to read it.
> I don't like Microsoft for much but OE5 makes my life easier
Do I care? It makes *my* life harder. And unless someone cooks up really
bright with procmail, everybody else's, too. Tell me, David, why do you
deliberatly enforce an unnecessary amount of trouble upon your innocent
readers? Bad as they are, Netscape, The Bat!, Eudora, Pine, or Becky
behave a lot better. If you have to use mailing lists, do your fellow
listmembers a favour and use one of those.

Ok?
Footnotes:
[1] Aw, fsck 160 body lines... Here, David, at least following 25 lines
carry some meaning... Hope you get it...
