And I'm fed up sick with mopping up the bloody trail they leave all across *MY* servers. Did I forget anything? Yes. RSP for administrivia to the list. Add RSP for reality-proof lusers.

Yes, there are some of use with clue(tm) that know how to configure OE properly, and use it. Cool. So why didn't you publish your patches against, say, Melissa earlier? You could have become a hero. I said I know how to configure it, Not how to patch it Oh. You didn't have any? Well, so much for your clue(tm) and knowledge of configuring broken closed source software, Dave. Can you demonstrate a single instance of *ANY* OE propogated virus that originated from me? I don't think so. I think that demonstrates my clue in configuring OE. Strip attachements and HTML if you want, I have no problem with that. But deny me access to this list because of the mailer I use??? Get a Fuckin' life! Dave, I run mailservers. It is because of people like you that people So do I. I run a qmail cluster for a nationwide DSL provider. like me have to deal with gigabytes (I'm not kidding) of .doc and .xls files sent by various Microsoft viruses. It's just not worth it, you Have *I* ever sent you gigabytes of infected files? I don't think so. Don't paint me with that brush. I'm sure I've gotten just as much as you. know? Really. Microsoft has had a lot of time to fix their operating system and their internet tools. They haven't succeeded. And I'm fed up sick with mopping up the bloody trail they leave all across *MY* servers. So am I. But that doesn't change the fact that OE gives me the combination of features *I* want. Yes, I'm used Pine, Elm, Mutt, Gnus and a whole slew of other mua's. And every time, I come back to OE because it gives me what I want, and works the way I want. Did I forget anything? Yes. RSP for administrivia to the list. Add RSP for reality-proof lusers. I guess for people like Robin we'll need RSP for Rectal Cranium Inversion Dave
