Hmm, I wonder why IceDove isn't wrapping your message. Oh well, I'm too lazy today to do it. I agree with you on this account. I owe a debt of gratitude to all of the people who have endeavored to produce free software, and applaud their efforts. I just wish that more people could/would see the light.
