Hi Leif,

it's nice that you want to teach me. Really. But I don't need new
teachers or preachers for the one and only religion.

There are more than enough evangelists out there. There are more than
enough wars out there about what OS is the best or about which office
suite. I don't need another war about which eMail client and I don't
need You to tell me what others should do and what not.

I just need an eMail client which gives me the free choice how to handle
on my own things because it's my decision.

I can run daily work as root if I like to. I should not do it, but I can
if I think I have to. I can lock up my home when I'm leaving or I can
leave it just closed but not locked. Also I'm able to turn off every
security option in my webbrowser and allow every site everything if I'm
happy with it.

It's _my_ decision - not _yours_. Configure /your/ email-client like you
want to and let others do it /their/ way. Even experienced users (for
myself I'm "on the net" for about 9 years now and I'm on my Master of
Information Technology in Management) demand the mentioned feature if
you see. If you don't want it. It's ok. Don't use it. Turn it off.
But don't begin to evangelise others with your point of view.

No offence but I'm tired of listening to self-proclaimed evangelists who
want me to do like they're thinking the world would be "better".

I have been working for nearly 8 years with OS/2, I was happy and my
system was rock solid. But the same old sayings over and over again.
Very annoying.

Now I'm using Windows for business and software development because
customers want to run the software on Windows machines. Now I have to
read daily some guys who want to change over to linux - regardless if I
need Windows for my work or not.
Or they want to tell me that I need another IDE or whatever.

I can assure you:
I know perfectly what is good for me. What I need. How I have to handle
things.

And if there are 2250 people who can not decide which eMail they can
trust - it's neither my fault nor my problem. You would have to turn the
whole Internet off to save them from themselves. Even if you code them
an email-client that can just display 7bit-encoded emails in a shell
without any possibility of clicking on links, opening attachments or
whatever.
