It doesn't work in linux.
It was the first thing I tried.

You know friend, you *really* shouldn't assume linux users will get
the same results you're getting on windows. It's a little frustrating,
especially when you tell people *they're* having PEBKAC errors and
being a bit smug and it turns out *you're* reporting your experiences
with a whole other OS.
It's bad form, and some people will get angry with you over that sort of
thing. Not me though, I should have stuck to the old rule that "headers
help determine credibility". Had I paid attention to that, I'd have
looked into it better before wastig so much time. :)
I'd like to point out that the PEBCAK was on your end. Again. And next
time rather than telling people how much they are or aren't assuming
about your system try following the instruction exactly rather than
spouting about differences in Windows, Linux, x86, x86_64, Thunderbird,
mutt, the electrons on your computer, etc etc.
Sheesh.
