Mind you, i am deliberately a monarchist...  It would have taken
long years of service and dedication before possibly being
bestowed a title.

(We had good Herzog's here in Darmstadt where i live, last month
it was 100 years until they had to go, but all the beautiful
things, including nature and gardens, churches, minsters, schools,
waterworks, and artwork which we still have and see around us
here, are from them and their times, not from the later "citizens
in action".)

So thank you, i wish it would be true!

Hey!  You can be lucky that i am not Kaiser Franz Joseph I. of
Österreich, your quote would be veeery long!

I see a decreasing number of helpful hands that this MUA can give
to you.

 | I respect your judgment.  I thought I had found a bug.

And so it was!  But i think i will simply drop that active
rejection of symbolic links.

 |after the addressee, append them to the archive of that name after I
 |send them.  I send better messages when I think about them again.

Thus i said: wonderful.  I am longing for the sea.

Thanks, yes i know.  (Funnily you are the second person who
reports this this week!)
I will change this, but it should not really do any harm.

 | 'make install' doesn't link to mail, mailx

This is true, but i cannot simply do that on my own.  Packagers
can decide to do so, but if you compile us yourself you could say
"make VAL_SID=flying VAL_MAILX=robert" and it should do that, and
that alone.

..but _i_ think it lead to an interesting idea!

 | wank?  Isn't that wichsen?  Is that a naughty word?

Well, elder human beings tend to understand the finiteness of
life, the naturalness of living in decaying flesh, and, given
that combination, i would not come to this assessment.
Albeit, people exist who think FoxNews reflects normal living and
mental health, and those eat three half pounders a day and are of
superior number: yes.
