You could use that: https://bitbucket.org/mpl/acmemail-with-sort-by-thread/src as an example (or not). Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

Well, bored is one word for what I feel about Linux. More than that, I find Plan 9 liberating compared to early Linux or OpenBSD.

Although I used to use it in a graduate school setting as my main desktop (so writing thesis, remote connections to unix machines), I now simply have a VPS that runs it (well, 9front now). It is used as a playground for little experiments and projects that aren't tied to an existing platform (i.e. I don't need some massive toolkit). I also cannot find a better text content creation platform (tex,troff). I can't stress enough, however, the value of having a native installation close by. It provides an unparalleled focus on the platform itself that a virtual machine (or remote machine) just doesn't offer (and I can't offer any good reason *why* this is -- i'd wager it is just a placebo effect). To that end I do have some atom boards that are in the queue as soon as I have a free weekend. The 'productive' question doesn't apply to me. I'm not productive on linux or plan 9. -Jack
