Dear Tony,

Do not tell Rubin Bennett you are not using Scalix, it will break his heart...

Regards,

Flint

Perhaps "will handle" might have been better.

Yeah, I'm on Outlook right now too.  Personal email uses Thunderbird on all 
platforms, while I often use Mulberry for work email unless I'm going to need 
to see my Exchange calendar.

Unfortunately, though, we didn't have a lot of option on the email system.  We 
had been using sendmail and UWashington's IMAP daemon, but when the need for 
full integration and calendaring came along, Exchange was the option we were 
given.  Sigh.

However, both Thunderbird and Mulberry handle HTML emails just fine and are 
open source.

"correctly handle HTML emails" Is a matter of discussion on it's own.

You do realize of course that darn near every email program in common use other 
than Pine/Alpine will correctly handle HTML emails these days...

I wasn't a fan either, but the world seems to have pretty much embraced them.

Dear Josh,

Unicode I can handle.  I just do not like HTML mail.

Regards,

Flint

My browser reads HTML.  My email system reads ASCII email.

It's 2009.  If your email can't handle HTML (even if it's better not
to use it, for good reasons), or if your email system can't handle
Unicode, then maybe you should upgrade.  â~º
