I use Outlook because I find it to be better than any piece of shit MUA that I can run on Linux. I happen to find Linux rather lacking when it comes to the desktop arena and when I actually have to do work instead of playing, I need something that works. Windows NT (and Outlook, when it comes to e-mail) happen to fit that bill quite well.
For my servers, yes, they're all running Debian. On the desktop, though, I need *real* applications that allow me to actually accomplish things. j. -- Jeremy L.

Does it come as any surprise that this comes from someone that uses MS Outlook as their MTA? -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
